I've been reviewing my favorite gadgets, services and apps all year long. Now it's your turn! Tell us what you got this holiday season (tech wise) that you're excited about? Use the comments section below. Tell us what it is, why you like it and provide links if you can? Did you get or give anything from my holiday gadget gift guide?
Hey! If you got an iPhone or iPod as a gift, check out my Favorite Accessories here. Also if you're looking for Apps, check out my Must Have Apps here.
I will cover the technology, gadgets, events and cool toys that have affected me in some way. I will also give recommendations on the products that I have actually used.
Belated Merry Christmas! I received the Columbus nGPS GPS and Remote Shutter Release for Christmas. Functions like the Nikon GP-1 with the following differences:
1. Has an on/off switch
2. Includes a remote shutter release cable which can be used with the GPS functioning
3. Does NOT include a strap adapter like the GP1-CL1 (anyone know where to source one?)
4. Includes cables for both the
With the Nikonians discount it is less than half the price of the GP-1. I’m very happy!
Happy New Year! I love geotagging.
Sorry, never finished #4. Cables for the D90 and and the 10-pin terminal connector.
I got the On One Plug-In Suite 5. Now I have to learn it.
Check out my review here soon!
Happy Holidays TW!
I was lucky enough to get an iTouch and the Hoodman Loupe. I have already downloaded some of your recommended apps.
The iPod touch rocks!
Hi Terry
Hope you had a great holiday. I got a Nikon 35mm 1.8 lens for my D300 and I love it! Thanks for everything you do and have a great New Year.
Thanks! Happy New Year! Great lens.
A photographer friend from Niagara Falls NY, Brian Neumann sent me some light modifiers
First an Alien Bee Light Mod adaptor

then an Alien Bee Snot

Been having fun learning how to use the snot..
Can’t wait to see the shots you take using them.
Got a handful of things, but here’s the highs :
Nikon SU-800
Etymotic HF2′s
Tokina 12-24mm f4 lens
Cool!
I got the Muvi Micro DV Camcorder. About the size of a USB drive, 2mp sensor, up to 8gig with micro SD card and has sound. No screen so you have to learn how to aim. If you click my name you can see the results I put together in iMovie. The company’s site is here: http://www.veho-uk.com/productdetail.aspx?id=87 And you can also see some review clips on youtube. It’s pretty cool for what it is and does.
Thanks Terry,
I received a Mophie Juice Pack Air. Unfortunately it was non-functioning out of the box. I will check back in and let you know how well Mophie deals with replacements.
Yes, let us know how it works out.
So far they have issued a RMA and a return shipping label. Hopefully it won’t take them too long to replace the item.
Mophie did a great job of turn-around with the replacement. Been using the Juice Pack Air for a little over a week now and loving it!
Fourth year in a row I got a digital photo frame. Four different frames from four different people. I have used one exactly once (for a fundraiser at my home). I sure don’t need four.
Amazon wish list, people!
Don’t feel bad. I get a tie every year and almost never wear a tie ever.
I got a Chumby. My cousin has had one for a while now and he got me one for Christmas. In the three days I have had it, I have become very fond of it already. I have personalized it so I can see the weather, get news RSS feeds, facebook updates, and much more without even leaving my bed. It also acts as an alarm clock. I am totally digging it!
A Lensbaby and the Optic kit!
Hi Terry,
I got my first DSLR! Nikon D300s, with 18-105 VR lens, and SB-600 flash.
Now it’s time to learn this beast. Lots of settings there. Love it so far!
Any good books out there for this camera, etc.?
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
cheers,
Rafal
The D300s is a GREAT camera. You’ll love it.
Got a pair of Elinchrom RX600 heads… Well she said I could get them so that counts. Killer heads and love the skyport especiall when I can fire it on top of the PocketWizard Mini TT1.
Hope all had a great Christmas!
Doug
That totally counts!
great gift.
I got a Roku HD. The video quality is much better than I thought it would be. The interface isn’t as slick as the Apple TV, but it’s sufficient.
I mainly wanted to stream movies from my Netflix Instant Watch queue, but quickly discovered a few other channels I could watch.
I’ve been streaming content from twit.tv and also from Pandora.
I’m really enjoying my new toy!
