Usually i don’t write questions here, because it’s totally and utterly pointless according to my experiences. (Meaning no one takes the trouble to answer.) I have three items on my wishlist (though rather correct to call it a “to-buy list”), and those three items are: a camera, an external hard drive and an electronic guitar. Not now, for sure, since i’m kind of low on funds for the coming week, but sometime in the (possibly near) future.

As for a camera, i’m looking for something that’s suitable for me (of course), meaning it shouldn’t break to tiny pieces if i happen to drop my backpack, it should make nice clean pictures (i’m not saying it should be a professional level monster, but not a compact, at least not a compact of the level of the one i have now…), and if possible the lenses should be changeable (or however you say that in english photoslang). I was thinking of an entry level Canon EOS or some Nikon. No specific idea yet—it’s pretty troubling that the models on international sites and on japanese ones seem to be different.

External HDD is simple. Be cheap, big and of acceptable quality. This latest is the hardest to check, because it’s not easy to find reviews. I was thinking of a HP Mini-PMD (160GB), and a LaCie model, but the LaCie disqualified itself by getting two thousand yen more expensive.

A guitar is of the least priority as of now, because until april i have the classical i borrow from the club, but for after then i want to have something to practice on. I want reasonably good quality for a reasonably good price, so i’m thinking of buying one at home. As for now my two choices were an Epiphone G-310 and a Les Paul Special II.

I’d appreciate suggestions, i’d really do.
