Whilst this may not be interesting to everyone I feel its rather interesting, there are absolutely loads of choices available to people for different gadgets, the main example I am going to use is for cameras, with my birthday money from last Sunday I purchased a digital camera, I researched this for quite a while to weigh up my options and I found plenty!, its made complicated by the shear number of brands available, the quality of the sensors

And more specifically, its my 18th birthday, the question that almost no-one is asking is what have I got?. I’ll tell you -
As my main pressie I got a Microsoft Zune, this is simply Microsofts answer to the Apple iPod and I love it, the main reason I love it is that its not made by Apple, I pretty much hate Apple and have no particular reason or justification for it, it could be because I’m a Microsoft fan boy through and through and hate macs because they are so - different. My only experience of a mac was on one of those things which only have one mouse button! - yes only ONE mouse button!, what use is that to me?!, I thought it was ludicrous! Anywho back to my Zune, its brilliant and I love it, its unique and will hopefully make people ask, ‘what is that?!’ which is what I love to hear as I like showing off my tech, I have a black 30 gb model (which has a nice big screen and can play mp3’s, videos and podcasts of both of those formats), its currently 2/3’s full - I load it up quick

I also was happy to receive a Laptop cooling stand which I’ve been wanting for a while just to make my laptop feel at home as it is most often at my desk. On top of that I received my provisional driving license as a gift which sounds odd but its what I wanted so hey, I didn’t have to pay for it which made me happy.

Finally, I’ve been lucky enough to get some money and hopefully (fingers crossed without wanting to sound spoiled) I’ll get enough to be able to buy myself a new digital camera as I currently have an absolutely rubbish fujifilm BRICK.

I guess a good question for me to ask would be:
What cameras would you recommend for under
