Best/worst buys

[bobotheclown]

i was really into it when i studied photography for a term when I did my btec national diploma in general art and design back in the early 90s. Back then it was film based. When dslr's came along I got the bug again. Then got married and had a baby and didn't have the time anymore.

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).

Must be willing to let the 14mm sigma go for a reasonable price?

Best: My Synology NAS. Incredible piece of kit - Great hardware, reliable and the software on it is by far the best NAS software out there. Plus Synology keep updating it for all their products and adding amazing new features! Recently, an update improved the CPU efficiency by something like 22%!

Worst: Probably every blackberry, ever.

Best: Toss up between my Xbox and my most recently purchased MacBook Air. The Xbox because I'm never off it and the MacBook because it's lightyears ahead of any other computer I've ever tried (only because I find it really easy to use).

Worst: Ooh, don't know here. I've not had any spectacular failures... and I don't really not use anything I buy... perhaps my Samsung Galaxy, purely because I can't work a fiddly touchscreen and wish I could go back to the good old days of the Nokia 3310 (and Snake).

worse:- a dodgy imitation iPod i got in the USA from which i was talked into buying, box looked legit, but the unit was a cheap, poorly made piece of sh!t.  my own fault for falling for it.
