Any Secret Santas Reading?

Just in case Santa is reading my blog, here's my wish list for this Christmas.

Wacom Cintiq 12WX

The Cintiq 12WX is a new offering from Wacom that would be a perfect "stocking stuffer". Ok, it's more of a "laptop case" stuffer. It's basically a 12" widescreen LCD monitor with a pen tablet interface over the top. Wacom has has the Cintiq 21UW for a while, and that would be a lovely addition, but the 12WX is much more portable and practical. I lug around a Wacom Intuos 3 pen tablet between home and work right now and most of my digital editing is done on that. The Cintiq line allows you to edit directly on the screen, which would be a very nice improvement. The price is just under $1,000

Canon 1Ds Mark III

21 Mega-pixels of professional camera. I'll make room for it in my camera bag just in case. At a mere $8,000 I'm sure it at the top of the list, but then Santa has the factory at the North Pole right, so it's only materials for him. :)

MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro

This is a cool macro lens from Canon that can shoot at 1:1 or 5:1, which means that a grain of rice would be displayed 5 times larger than life on the camera sensor. Why? It would have come in handy the other day when I had capture vitamin capsules. B&H has the lens listed at $829.95.

If you are going to wish, why not wish big.
