What photo/video gear did Santa bring you this year?

[Andy_Hodapp]

...Santa is thinking about getting me a 200mm F/2.8 L as a late gift but he needs to do a little more research on it.  What do you guys think of the 200mm F/2.8 L on a full frame DSLR, would it be good for outdoor portraits were space is not an issue?...

I just got that lens and all I can say is that you'll love it. Exceptional AF speed, very sharp, physically not very big as far as a 200 goes. I got a mint copy on eBay for $460.

Thanks, you have sent me over the edge, going to buy it when I see a good copy on Ebay.

a 7d with a 400mm f/5.6L lens crept into my stocking... and is now by my side when I take long walks in the park....

Whats in Bold I bought for myself, all else was from my wife. Between my wife's Christmas gifts and my own weekness, I'm in the hole for a while.

Did you update the firmware on your Hero 3 yet?  I swear the battery drops to empty within 10 minutes of finishing a charge and that's not even with it recording, just sitting there turned on.  I don't know if the battery life level is just off or if it's actually draining that fast.

Amazon Basics camera backpack and a circular reflective panel.

My mom and sister gave me an Intuos5 Medium tablet, with the wireless accessory kit   

Then my gf went and did the same thing 

Duplicate presents. Never happened to me before.

It's been a good year so I got a chance to upgrade most of my lenses and get a few more I have been dreaming about:

35 L
135 L
24-105 L, to replace the kit lens
70-200 F4 IS, replacing the consumer 70-300 IS
some new CF cards.

Keeping the 50D body for now.
Having a whole lot of fun playing with the new toys!

None! You guys held him up so I will need to wait some more...

I got nothing.  Apparently, Santa doesn't like people without lots of money...

Is it all about money? I thought it was all about time...

Sorry, my bad.

A 600EX-RT to replace the 550EX. Wanted a Sony RX-100 but ended up with an S100.
