- Epson Stylus Photo R380 Inkjet Printer
This printer has to be one of the greatest inventions ever. Forget trying to use messy CD/DVD labels. This printer prints directly on CDs and DVDs. It includes a special tray that feeds CDs and DVDs into the printer. It also includes software where you can design whatever you want printed on the CD/DVD. You can even print photos on the CD/DVD. - Memorex DVD-R 16x 4.7GB 100 Pack Spindle Printable
You can’t have the Epson printer without printable DVDs. I prefer Memorex DVD-R for all my projects. - The Little Digital Video Book
This is a great little book for the video editing hobbyist. It provides lots of great tips for shooting and editing video. I seem to refer to my book a lot. - Canon ZR830 MiniDV Camcorder with 35x Optical Zoom
I’ve had great luck with Canon camcorders. I’ve been using the Canon ZR80 for the past few years and it still works like a charm. So I’m sure the ZR830 has got to be even better than mine. This little consumer camcorder has gotten some great reviews. - Celestron Photo / Video Tripod
If you shoot a lot of video, then you definitely need a tripod like this one. There’s a huge selection of tripods on the market. I have one similar to this one. I also have a smaller version of this one that easily folds up small enough to fit into my camera bag. - Canon PowerShot SD750 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)
I bought this digital camera last month and have had so much fun with it. It’s very small and lightweight and takes some great pictures. When I’m out with my kids, I like to wear it around my neck or wrist so I don’t ever miss any photo opportunities. The zoom is not that great however. But I really don’t take many distant shots anyway. I usually take closeup shots of my kids. So it’s perfect for what I need it for. - Canon CanoScan 4400F Color Image Scanner (1306B002)
This is a great little scanner that will scan your photos, 35 mm film, and slides. - Apple iMac Desktop with 20″ Display MA876LL/A (2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, SuperDrive)
I absolutey LOVE LOVE LOVE my iMac. - Apple iLife ‘06 (Mac DVD) [OLDER VERSION]
Apple recently introduced iLife ‘08. However, I am not crazy about it because the completely revamped iMovie. iLife ‘06 includes the older version of iMovie which has lots of great themes and is so easy to use. With iLife ‘06, you also get iPhoto and iDVD. - Adobe Premiere Elements 4
If you’re a PC user, then I recommend Adobe Premiere Elements for your video editing needs. I also have a copy of this on my laptop and have created some great home videos with it. - Videomaker Magazine
This magazine is geared more towards the video professional. However, the video hobbyist can still get a lot of great information out of it. Oh how I wish someone would start a great magazine for the hobbyist… - Israel Hyman of Izzy Video
