Well, it's Tuesday, and that means tomorrow I am 18 years old .. now my parents have been pestering me to decide what I want for my birthday in terms of a pressent .. and I have no idea.

I have a job; I have money .. I have a car .. I have a laptop and 2mb broadband .. the Nintendo Wii isn't out yet and I don't have my uni results so I don't know what I'm going to be doing next year ... I have no idea what in the world I "want" that can be "given" at the moment.

So please .. decide for me.

I was thinking along the lines of a digital camera... or a mobile phone. Anyway .. any other ideas!? or any suggestions of good cameras/phones? Any feedback is appreciated! I'll save you a drink ;)

Hey rich boy...since you asked for 'feedback'...how about a place to live anywhere except Cornwall?:cheeky:

Winnipeg is supposed to be nice.:silly:

...so use it. Ask for a copy of Writer's Market 2007.

Damned good writer? A writer with promise.

Thanks for the advice Antman I might look into that in the future when I have some time.

For now though I've sided with the Panasonic DMC FX01 ..it's Lumix, which I'm told is a good thing :paranoid: There's a comprehensive review here (http://www.cameras.co.uk/camera-reviews/panasonic-dmc-fx01.cfm)
The cheapest I've seen it for is £189.99 + p&p .. so about £195 altogether. And looking to get a 2GB SD Card for £25 from Aria.co.uk - lifetime guarentee on it. Anyone think this is a dreadfully bad idea?

Edit .. too late I bought it :)
