This is the last week of Girls Talk... and for the last prompt, it's all about gadgets. Technology has definitely become part of our everyday lives, and I for one have a very long list of gadgets I want to own, but this would be my top three:


Canon EOS 7D. In 2009, I traveled to Palawan with a few online friends I met a forum, and one of them (Erick) just bought a new camera - the EOS 7D. I wasn't able to "test drive" it, but I did get to use it for a few minutes and I just loved it. Well, a DSLR camera (of any kind - whether it's the cheapest one in the market) is still pretty much very expensive for me, and there is this hesitation of my saving up for it because I know I am not that great of a photographer, and part of me fears I might not give the images any justice should I jump to the DSLR camera owners bandwagon. Also, I know that owning a DSLR Camera would mean wanting to get the lenses and accessories, as well as wanting to attend workshops and photography classes... not to mention people expecting you to produce much better images. All of these are great changes, yes, but for a person who can't afford such a pricey gadget, I guess I will just stick to my trusty point and shoot camera for now, after all, I am not really eyeing to become a big shot photographer, though of course I want to have some sense of growth as well.

I still am not giving up on my hopes of owning a DSLR camera (particularly this one)... and if there will be a fairy willing to grant me three wishes, this might be one of those three wishes, or I can just ask a whole bulk of cash so I can buy the accessories, too. Hahahaha.

Canon Powershot D10. While in the subject of cameras, another one I dream to own is this one, because it's waterproof and shock proof. I love going to the beach and it just sucks not being able to take pictures while in the water. This one is much easier to acquire, so I guess I will start saving up for this one first.

iPhone 4. Main reason of me wanting to own this is because of the apps - particularly the Instagr.am app. Also, I have heard of a person being able to publish a coffee table book using pictures taken by the iPhone, and part of me wants to accomplish something like that, too, or maybe devote a photo blog by publishing images solely taken by the iPhone.

Hmmm... looks like my mind (even in gadgets) is set on photography. :) By the way, all the images here were not mine, I just grabbed them from Flickr, if you want to see the source for the images, just click on each of the picture to see the owner's photostream.
