I/we got our christmas presents really early this year, back in July we took the family on a two week vacation(we have never been on vacation) when we came accross some money, before we went I upgraded from my K-X to a K-5/18~135 lens/BG4 grip/"Capture" by Peak Design camera belt clip/ and a camera belt for the clip, all that for the trip that I shot at least 4000 shots on. we knew and agreed that this will be for our Christmas this year because we knew we would be broke come Christmas....we was good with that.
I am still liking my gift from last year and that is my 2012 Camaro, and this year we got my wife a Jeep Wrangler.
Our girls made out like bandits this year for Christmas(I really believe in getting things for the children for Christmas before getting something for my self or my wife, if we want something then we just end up getting what we want when we have the money) Both of my eldest daughters (one is 16, and the other is 21) got laptops and are happier than clams, they really needed them for their schoolwork, one is in college and the other is in highschool and taking classes for Briany kids (super intelligent young lady, I am so proud of her) They had computers that pretty much still had windows 98 on them and were dieing, now that they have something with windows 7 on them they are so stoked. My youngest got a bunch of stuff from her favorite boy band.
When we get some taxes back I might be looking towards a nice "birding" zoom lens, mayge a big ol Sigma lens.
For right now I am just happy as can be sitting here with family with my K-5 in hand and taking many shots with it, that's all I really wanted for Christmas.
Originally posted by ENicolas I got myself a Wacom Intuos5 medium - of course my birthday is this month, too - so it's for both!
Those are sweet, I have had my Wacom Intuos 4 Medium for three years now and I use it 90% of the time on my computer, using it will become second nature to you in a short time. Try and get yourself an Art pen for it, it has tilt and rotate sensitivity, that of which the regular pen doesn't have.

I gotta get myself into doing flash photography this next year, that looks like a sweet set up.
