Keyboard, Camera and Monitor
So, I was in the market for a digital camera, ergonomic keyboard and a Flat Panel Monitor. Discussion follows:
###Ergonomic Keyboard
These things are highly necessary for anybody who spends significant amounts of time using a computer (like me). And while there are tons of models out there (including some really snazzy wireless ones and some truly funky space-age designs) I ended up going with what they gave me to use at Trilogy — the MS Natural Pro. My only complaints about it would be that it’s got something like 14 extra buttons that I’ll never really need (or maybe this time I will, who knows) that I had to pay for, just because I liked the rest of the keyboard. Cost after rebate: ~$50 — well worth it.
###Digital Camera
I really agonized over this one… did a great deal of research, and finally decided that for my constraints and needs (<$500, small, amateur photos) that there were only two cameras that I need consider:
Canon Powershot S110 Digital Elph and the Pentax Optio330. Both cameras are quite nice, but the tie breaker was the ~$200 difference after rebate/bonus options on the S110. It’s only 2 megapixels, but that’s all I really need.
###Flat panel display
Still agonizing over this one… Will probably wait for quite a while before I get anything.
