Best  - My Ipad3 is looking handy

Best - Xbox 360, for much the same reasons as Jay.

Worst - Buying the Mrs a knock-off Ipod (chinese copy) from Ebay.... NO MORE unbranded goods!  :sick:


I don't think a semi will give the same results

Just technology?? iPhone is pretty sweet, but that's an obvious one as I knew I would use it all the time.


The biggest waste of money was the Nintendo Wii for her indoors. I've used it 3 times and that's more than she has.



same! they chose the ps3 everytime  :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Best:
Panasonic TZ-10. Use it all the time to take pictures of my 7 month old son. Priceless.

Worst:
Rock Laptop (http://www.rockdirect.com/). It was meant to be a desktop replacement in a laptop but kept on overheating and crashing. After that I got a Mac and never looked back.
Canon DSLR and all the lenses and accessories. Used it for a few projects but was too bulky to use on a daily basis and ended up sitting in a wardrobe forgotten and gathering dust. Must have spent around £5k on all the bits and pieces (100-400L lens, 24-105L lens, 14mm Sigma prime, 90mm Tamron Macro, 50mm 1.8 prime, 550EX flash, 20D body, cable release, angle view finder, extra batteries, CF cards, ibm microdrives, loewpro backpack and shoulder bag, manfrotto tripod).

Seriously?
To spend that much on serious camera gear, you must have been really into it. Or was it just a hobby that you lost interest in?
I'm just getting more and more into photography as time goes on.
Did you sell all the kit then ?
