I am really tempted by the new Amazon Kindle 6'' 3G+WiFi, but I still did not convince myself that I really need it

![]() I am hoping that the price cut will lead to the sony e-reader being reduced to a similar price, If so I may buy it. |

Whats your most wanted gadgets for the rest of 2010? Also, a lens on which the end doesn't rotate would be nice, as then I could finally make use of polarising filters. But then I'm starting to consider a new DSLR with HD video recording, and unless Sony come out with something I can see Nikon getting some of my hard earned. |

I'll echo the lenses - I want a 10-20mm, a prime, a decent walkabout (ie. 18-200, or 18-250), and a larger zoom - something up to 400mm would be pretty useful. I've only got the kit lens (18-70) and a regular zoom (70-300 with macro), but could do with more.

PRS 300 isn't that expensive even now and is much better than PRS 600 anyway.

Checked it out, a 5" display screen is too small for me.

You know you can order it and try it out and then if you feel you dont need it you can send it back within the first 30 days and get a full refund.
I may as well, as an early xmas present for myself.

Wish is for a standardised dock socket on Android devices.
For a quick attachments to TV's etc. Standard dock-pads would then materialise in various screen sizes. Standardisation certainly won't happen but I do expect a phone to arrive shortly with an A-pad dock. |

I read that a new 1080p Nikon DSLR with autofocus is coming in the next few months. That said I love my Canon 550D, great video quality (http://vimeo.com/13236987). Superb picture quality with a good lens (18mp). Only negative is that there is no autofocus in movie mode.
I'd also be very tempted by the Sony NEX-3/NEX-5, if only they supported auto-focus on standard alpha mount lenses. A friend has used a 5D (or 7D?) on some music video shoots, the quality is absolutely incredible, there's something about DSLR movies that tends to stand out above regular camcorder work. |

However, the 7D is just to expensive for me, £1199 for the body alone at Jessops. 550D is £634 for body only. The Sony Nex's picture quality isn't as good as the 550D according the review and footage I've seen. Importantly the 550D come with some impressive software, which the Sony doen't (i think). |

I'm pretty sure my Alpha came with a bunch of software. Never bothered with it though. |

There are test on the Sony Nex on youtube by "DigitalRevcom" and reviews on 550D on youtube by DigitalRevcom and Cameralabs. They seem to know their stuff when it comes to Cameras.

In general, you can return a new Kindle you purchased or received as a gift within 30 days of the day you received the shipment. The Kindle must be in new condition and returned with all the original packaging.
We cannot accept an item for return after it has been opened unless it is faulty - unopened items must remain with any seals and shrink wrap intact. Therefore, if you register the product to use it, we cannot accept the return. |

I guess I'd be looking at the 20mm/F1.7 pancake lens for my Lumix G1. If I can get it past the wife

I'm tempted to buy a 4th gen Ipod touch but I mightn't have much money left as I'm buying a new laptop soon and need money for uni stuff. I'd love to upgrade my phone too, maybe a nice smartphone of some kind. Ah well, Christmas is coming (ok maybe too early to say that lol
)
