Canon PowerShot S2 IS
Price: $ - $
Great for Sport Shots09/23/06
- Pros:
- zoom, size
- Cons:
- battery life
I WAS a 35mm guy, then I got a nikon digital to play with. Loved it so much I started looking and got an S2IS because of the amount of zoom and low F-Stops. My son plays hockey, and football, my daughter swims, runs and plays tennis. This camera is lighter than my old 35mm, takes better pictures, and allows me to over-ride automatic functions so that I can shoot in dark hockey rinks and natatoriums.
Next I started shooting video to my 1gig memory card. I'll never touch my video camera again.
I use the videos and pics in Mac's Imovie to make season banquet presentations for my kids teams.
It's an awsome camera

Apple MacBook Pro
Price: $1950 - $1950
Best Machine I have had08/21/06
- Pros:
- lighted keyboard, it just works, Video Chat
- Cons:
- cost,
I bought a Macbook Pro for my daughter to take to college. She wanted a Windows machine but I could not get the battle I had with some viruses out of my head and imagined her grades suffering because she lost files due to a virus at an expensive university!
I went with the Macbook Pro partly because of the back-lit keyboard. She can work in a dark dorm room and still see her keys.
At school I set up an airport express to ensure her printing and internet remained wireless, while I was at it I hooked up the express to her stereo so she can play her itunes to her receiver. It's very cool.
Last night we had a breif video conference on I-chat and she was able to say good night to her 3 year old brother.
It's expensive, but considering what a huge part of her education this will be over the next 4 years it's seems small. Spend the extra money and get the extended warranty, and don't be a stupid computer user-BUY AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE TO BACK UP YOUR FILES! It's the best $130 bucks you will ever spend!
