Are They Worth It?

Christmas is getting near and people are already looking for things to buy for their love ones. Of course they are also eyeing on things they wanted to receive this coming Christmas and I am no excemption to that. Okay, a few post away I said there that I am a tech-freak but not so techy and gadget-minimonster to add to that - my own word. Okay enough saying.

Here are some of my most "I want to have gadgets!"

Canon EOS 500D
Features at a glance:

• 15.1 Megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor
• Full HD movie recording with HDMI connection for viewing and playback on an HDTV
• ISO 100-3200 (expandable to 12800)
• 3.4 frames per second continuous shooting
• Max. 170 large JPEG images in a single burst
• 3.0” ClearView LCD with Live View mode

• EOS Integrated Cleaning System

== I looked in the internet for reviews and found it really AMAZING! I am not a professional photographer but I am very eager to learn. In fact, I am already considering taking classes if I have more time and MONEY! It's a good investment and is already in my Must Have, most probably I'll purchase this one next year.

Sorry about that, I can't find a shorter feature. Well, this one is NOT in my MUST HAVE. I say must have because it is something that I really don't need. The Canon EOS 500D is a must have coz I am really investing for a flashy future - yeah Flashy. I really am going to go into class someday so better start and familiarize myself with it. But with IPhone, I.... really, really wish I could have it. It's like a cake with a very tasty icing that you want to touch, feel and taste. I don't really like cakes but it's just a figure of speech.

One good thing is the Telecommunications company here in Saudi Arabia, Mobily just went on a promotion. They really made a very interesting, enticing promotion this time. I better visit them one of this days. Me and my wife are both considering this already. My Sony Ericsson K7 which is older than my son is already complaining for a technician. I'll probably repair it for now until I get my hands on the IPhone. Yes, I am getting one. I have been depriving myself for years for a good cellphone. I really think that I am worthy to have something really cool once in a while, I've been working hard for years. Blah-blah-blah.

Okay, the question would be -- ARE THEY WORTH IT?

YES THEY ARE!
