| | | Whats on your list
Hi All
Ok Christmas is less than a month away so what is on your list
I asked Santa for a new Canon 30D and Sigma 150 macro lens, not asking a lot but my guess is I’ll never see it under the tree
To be honest I’ll be happy with a bit of snow on the ground over the festive period to take a few shots, and then it can disappear never to be seen till next year
Mick

Having just purchased a new 30D and a 100-400 lens i too am hoping for some good snowy days. I am also hoping for some cold, clear and crisp days when I visit Norfolk for the first week in January.

Come on Santa! Is it crimble yet??? | Hi Steve
I was tgoing to buy a Scandisk 4 gig as well but was advised to go for 2 x 2 gigs instead. Their advice was don't throw everything into one basket. If anything went wrong with one of your cards you could potentially lose everything on it whereas if you split it over two cards in effect you could only lose half of them.
It made sense to me so I went and bought them.

I'd like to have my own orange and not have to share it with my brothers. A new jumper, and not one of my brothers' hand me downs and a matching pair of shoes |

You can have my Konus Campus when my eyes have completely seized up 
I'd be happy with a backup Olympus C8080 |

Mine will be a new tripod, mainly for macro use. I've been meaning to buy one for ages but decided I should force some control on myself and wait for Santa! |

Well earlier this year I bought a Nikon D200 so I don't need a camera, but what I would really like for Christmas is a Sony PSP(don't worry I'm not a computer junky I have a PS2 and only occasionally play it, besides I'm only 14). I've curently got my eye on one of the new Macbooks that are out now as I'd love to have a really fast computer for processing my pics on. I've just got enough money for the 2.0GHz white one as I recently won quite a bit of prize money in a comp lol !!

Tell your dad from me to stick his hand in his pocket and sort it!
You save your money for a new VR lens, or something like a book on 'How not to show-up older photographers'

I'm sure if you write a nice letter to Santa and leave him some mince pies and a glass of sherry, oh and a carrot for the reindeer, then you will get your whole orange, your jumper and the missing shoe to the one you already have.
(only if you have a chimney though) | | |
