Leica D-Lux 4

Leica cameras are a little bit special, but usually they have been a little out of most peoples price range. The D-Lux 4 is a little bit more accessible but doesnt skimp on quality or features. This camera is particularly good in poor light conditions and comes with a 24-60mm lens and a 10.1 megapixel sensor.
Focus, shutter speed, stops and exposure override can all be set manually for real enthusiast appeal.
Nike + iPod Sport Kit
Price:€29
Buy:www.apple.ie
If your post-Christmas belly is resembling that of a sumo wrestler's and gym fees and the bailifs that come with some of them arent your cup of tea then you could just stick on a wooly hat and head out the door running.
With the Nike+ system you can connect your running shoes to your iPod wirelessly.
We have tried it for a while and really like it. It tells you your distance as you run, logs all your progress on a website but sadly the only thing it cant do is actually make you run in the first place.
What you get with this is a sensor that fits under the insole of most new Nike running shoes.
