 | SteamFast SF-275 SteamMax Steam Cleaner
Buy new: $99.87 Great for cleaning wooden floors. Makes cleaning the floor effortless. I cannot go back to chemical cleaners, mops etc etc - they pale in comparison to this steamer. Only way to go - your back will love you for it.

 | Canon EOS 40D 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
Buy new: Too low to display / Used from: $850.00 I like the liveview feature, especially for macro photography, speed of taking continuous pictures at 6 fps, sub-second time to take a photo from switching camera on to first photo, 10MPX sensor blows up photos to spectacular detail, sturdy body quality (be it a little heavy), high iso quality for low dark situations without flash and fabulous choice of lens and accessories.

 | Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $361.95 / Used from: $320.00 Superb quality body and photos, well suited to low light conditions and portrait photos. I find you need to be about 10 feet away from your subject. Photos taken in low light conditions like museums, theatre, zoo are outstanding, excellent bokeh, crisp and clear. You will need to buy a lens hood separately (Canon ET-65III).

 | Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Ultra Wide Angle Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $700.00 I use this lens for landscape shots, quality is excellent but the included lens hood is huge and ugly. I really like the 'L' Canon lens quality and choice.

 | Canon EF 12 II Extension Tube For EOS Digital Cameras
Buy new: $80.07 Use this for extraordinary macro shots. A whole new world will awaken before your eyes. Based on the lens used will determine how close or far you can be from your subject. For example, on my 17-40mm lens I have to be within 4 inches of the subject, but on my 100mm lens it is around 2 feet. Focus manually and use Liveview, if you can, on a stable tripod.

 | Lowepro Slingshot 200 All Weather Backpack (Black)
Buy new: $89.95 / Used from: $77.90 Extremely convenient and versatile. I like the slingshot feature for accessing the camera and lens - it is a safe approach to getting gear from the pack. Must have for your expensive camera.

 | The Photographer's Eye: Composition and Design for Better Digital Photos by Michael Freeman
Buy new: $19.77 / Used from: $18.98 This book is a must have for any photographer. I rave about this book. It is not a how to book, but it does teach you what to look for in selecting the composition of a photo. Your photos will improve and you will refer to this book constantly. A real pleasure to read, admire and reference.

 | Altec Lansing inMotion iM600 Portable Audio System for iPod
Buy new: $96.00 / Used from: $59.99 Absolutely brilliant sound, the FM radio sound is of high quality and the versatility of it's light weight, portability and lithium battery makes this a very enjoyable device to experience.

 | Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 QuietPoint Active Noise-Cancelling Headphones
Buy new: $116.88 A little bulky but works well on those long flights where noise cancellation is a prime benefit. Sound quality is good too. I still lust after the Bose quiet comfort 3 though, but at 3 times the price - I can only dream!

 | Men's Health The Body You Want in the Time You Have: The Ultimate Guide to Getting Leaner and Building Muscle with Workouts that Fit Any Schedule (Mens Health) by Myatt Murphy
Buy used from: $7.29 This is an excellent workout book. Programs are based on the time you can spare and the level of fitness you hope to achieve. I particularly like the 20 minute workout 4 times a week that I, in reality, am lucky to do 2 times. Easy to follow, quality photos, step by step instructions and motivating. I think I really need a hypnotist to get me to 4 times a week!

 | Omron HBF-400 Body Fat Monitor and Scale
Buy new: $38.50 I like this because it is accurate, a tap of the toe conveniently switches it on and off, and the display remains at your weight even after you step off the unit - great if you haven't got your glasses on in the morning. No memory though, which is my ownly feature desire, but then again, it wasn't designed for that.
|
 | Omron HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer with Advanced Omron Health Management Software
Buy new: $29.99 Along with the outstanding HJ-112 pedometer this unit is accurate, convenient to carry (all my waking time), the included software and automatic data transfer capability adds a new level of monitoring your health. This is a highly recommended device for monitoring your activity.
|
 | Braun Tassimo TA1200 Single-Serve Hot-Beverage System
We use this all the time. It is extremely convenient, quick, clean, and no mess to contend with. The coffee quality is superb, I particularly like the Gevalia Late and my partner likes Starbuck's coffee. Although a little noisy it is highly recommended. Coffee and tea packs may be purchased from Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond. Great for the home office!
