Monger’s Christmas Wish List
Although the mongering hobby takes a break for Christmas, here are some must have items for next year.
GoPro HERO3+: Silver Edition
What could better than a camera and HD video recorder that you can mount to your head or enclose in a waterproof case? You can use it on the beach, in the water and of course for hands free shooting in the bedroom. Now capture your very best moments on vacation.
Sony Cybershot H200 Black 20.1MP 26X
It’s not a substitute for a DSLR, but the $148 price tag is great deal for a camera with a 26x optical zoom and CCD sensor. This is a great camera for taking close up shots, especially in low light without a flash. The CCD sensor replaces the CMOS EXMOR sensor that had changed the picture for low light digital photography.
