For Christmas I’d like some new Nikon binoculars, a Sony Playstation 3 or Microsoft XBox 360, a new video card for my computer with HD-out, a DVD player that can play videos from an SD/SDHC card (I don’t even know if one exists?), a stock pile of CD-R’s and DVD-R’s (I go through them like crazy on my DVR and my video camera), some new lenses for my Panasonic PV-GS320 3CCD video camera, a new Linksys Wireless G router (mine has been acting up lately) and a bunch of other stuff I can’t even think of right now. This is just in case Santa Clause reads blogs.
Today I won a new 8gb micro SD card during a raffle at my office. My digital camera uses normal SD cards, so I sold the micro SD card that I won to a friend of mine. One of the guys won a brand new 16gb Creative Zen. I have a 4gb Creative Zen with a 16gb SDHC card in it and I absolutely love it. I haven’t had any kind of trouble with it and it’s probably my favorite gadget. You can find the 4gb model for under $100. I pretty much keep the internal 4gb memory filled with music that I rip from my CD collection and I fill the 16gb SDHC card with videos and things like that. It comes in really handy if I’m flying somewhere or any other occasion where I don’t have anything to do but sit there. The battery life is about 20 hours or so for music playback and 5 hours or so for video playback. You can’t beat that.
