Fujifilm FinePix F30
Price: $819 - $819
the next level02/01/07
- Pros:
- amazing in low light, very long battery life
- Cons:
- larger than the ultra compact series
I've had this camera for a few months now, and I can't recommend it highly enough. It goes to ISO 3200 at full resolution, which means you can take photos inside without a flash. The quality of said images is fairly grainy, though it certainly gets the point across. A wide variety of shooting modes that you can actually use helps a lot, too.

Seagate Pushbutton Backup External Hard Drive
Price: $59.99 - $59.99
high grade portable data05/18/06
- Pros:
- large buffer, good enclosure, multiple interfaces
- Cons:
- slightly more bulky than other models
The 16MB buffer is not something that you can easily find in other external drives, and it really does set this product apart from the competition. After trying various other drives, I wouldn't recommend anything else. Seagate's name and construction are at the top of the line.

Grado SR-80
Price: $99.95 - $99.95
amazing sound02/09/06
- Pros:
- best sound for the price
- Cons:
- ear cushions start out harsh
I've had a pair of SR-80s for a couple years now, and I don't think I'll ever have to buy another set. You will have to get used to the ear cushions, since they can make your ears a bit raw over hours of use. They will break in, though, and after the initial shock it isn't even an issue.

Apple iPod Video 30GB White
Price: $ - $
more than worth it02/07/06
- Pros:
- compact, beautiful screen, great features
- Cons:
- accessories can be pricey
When I first got my iPod, I thought it was pretty expensive at ~$300 [NOTE: if you're a student or work at a University, get the academic discount!]. Now that I've had the player for a couple months, it'd be worth it at twice the price. The video compenent, while not quite perfect, definitely adds a whole lot to the experience.

Fujifilm FinePix Z1
Price: $399.99 - $399.99
amazing camera02/07/06
- Pros:
- v. compact, wonderful screen, takes great photos, quick startup
- Cons:
- doesn't survive a wash in the laundry
I had this camera between Halloween and Christmas. The camera is very small, which is more of an advantage than you'd think. After lugging around heavy film cameras all the time, I was able to carry the Z1 in my coat pocket around with me every day without any burden. If you're at all into photography, this is a very Good Thing. The camera also did very well in low light conditions, which made indoor and personal photography pleasant.
Just be careful when you're doing laundry, if you keep the camera in your pants pocket. It was small enough that I didn't notice its presence in the washing machine until I was emptying out the machine..
