<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In the past, I\u2019ve featured some crazy cool products for our gift guides, but this year I thought I would concentrate on tried-and-true brands<\/strong> as opposed to brand new items.\u00a0 Every brand here is one that I\u2019ve used, abused, and continue to use today. Some sit in my office, and some travel with me \u2013 many have gone around the world and are still with me.\u00a0 These are all brands I trust, and I recommend them to you for your gift-giving occasions. I can predict they\u2019ll last a long time and will certainly be appreciated by whomever you gift them to.<\/p>\n I bought my first Nikon SLR camera back in 1984 and I\u2019ve been shooting with them ever since.\u00a0 Quality is top notch, but the thing I love about Nikon is that all the lenses I\u2019ve ever purchased can be used with every SLR or DSLR I\u2019ve had or still have. That saves tons of money.<\/p>\n I\u2019m currently shooting with three Nikons.\u00a0 My workhorse is the D500 and it\u2019s still available.\u00a0 ($1,796.95 at Amazon.<\/a>)\u00a0 It shoots a wonderfully large 21MP image and has phenomenal low light capabilities shooting at 25,600 ISO with low noise.\u00a0 Great for indoor and night sports.<\/p>\n For birdwatching, I\u2019m loving the Nikon P900 ($596 at Amazon)<\/a>.\u00a0 It shoots the equivalent of 24-2000mm which is an 83x optical zoom.\u00a0 I can capture amazing bird photos, even if they are a hundred feet away.\u00a0 It\u2019s now been updated and is available as the P1000 ($996.95 at Amazon)<\/a> and shoots with a 3000mm zoom and 4K video.\u00a0 Haven\u2019t tried it yet, but it sounds awesome.<\/p>\n For everyday concealed carry (pun intended), I love the pocketable Nikon P7700 \u2013 still available used ($239.99 at Amazon)<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 It shoots 12.2 MP images in RAW or JPEG and full HD (1080p) video, yet fits in most pockets. This was my backup camera on many worldwide trips. The newer model is the S9900 ($249 at Amazon<\/a>)<\/p>\n I\u2019m presently using three different Epson printers.<\/p>\n The Epson SureColor P400 is being used for all my fine art, frame-worthy photography.\u00a0 Ideal for large format, panorama and banner prints. With 8 inkjet cartridges and the option to print on tons of specialty papers, this is the best I\u2019ve ever experienced. ($566 at Amazon)<\/a>\u00a0 See my full review here.<\/a> If you create a lot of black and white prints, by all means, check out the P600 ($677 at Amazon)<\/a><\/p>\n The Epson WorkForce WF-7620 is the day-in-day-out printer for my office.\u00a0 It prints, copies, scans, and faxes.\u00a0 It prints up to 11×17 in color and black and white.\u00a0 ($299 at Amazon<\/a>)\u00a0 Love the quality and the speed.\u00a0 It\u2019s been upgraded to the WF-7720 which is now on sale for a great price. ($199 at Amazon)<\/a><\/p>\n The third printer is in my car at the moment and is the portable Epson WF-100.\u00a0 It\u2019s wireless, battery operated and rechargeable via USB or AC.\u00a0 Holds up to 20 sheets of letter or legal-size paper, and prints standard pages in about 20 seconds.\u00a0 It has been a great printer to have for those times when away from the office and you need copies or prints right away. ($229 at Amazon)<\/a><\/p>\n If there ever were a \u201cwhat-the-heck-is-that\u201d camera, it\u2019s the Light L16.\u00a0 The model number denotes the number of lenses in the camera \u2013 all firing simultaneously \u2013 and creating up to 80MP images.\u00a0 With a 28-150 zoom and the capability of severely cropping your images, it\u2019s possible to pull out clear detail from great distances, yet the camera can fit in a large pocket. If you want the highest resolution images, with 13 stops of dynamic range, this is your camera. (List price $1950 at Light.co<\/a> \u2013 on sale now for 35% off)<\/p>\n Keeping with the pocketable camera theme, I\u2019ve been using the Sony CX-675 camcorder for some time now and am quite pleased with the compactness and quality of the unit.\u00a0 It features a 26.8mm wide-angle coverage and up to 30x optical zoom \u2013 much more than most camcorders. It also keeps the videos on a microSD card, so you are not limited by internal memory like so many other camcorders. My only regret is that there is no viewfinder like on my more expensive professional camcorders, which can make it hard to see on bright sunny days.<\/p>\n Lenovo has computers for just about any task you want to complete, and as an ambassador for them, I\u2019ve had the opportunity to try a number.<\/p>\n Presently, I use a Lenovo M-800 SFF<\/a> with 32GB RAM and 1TB hard drive with dual monitors as my office photo and video editing workstation.\u00a0 I love the power of being able to render huge resolution photo files and hi-def videos with ease. Not many machines come with this amount of RAM, but it truly makes a difference in editing. The small footprint of the CPU fits comfortably below the dual Lenovo Touch 23\u201d monitors.<\/p>\n For day-in-day-out, carry-in-my-backpack computing, I use the Yoga 900 \u2013 a 13.3\u201d screen, 16GB RAM, 512GB HD which always does the job.<\/p>\n Its newest cousin is the 14\u201d C930 which starts at $1244<\/a> and includes the world\u2019s first dual-display and a digital pen with 4,096 points of pressure sensitivity.<\/p>\n If you are looking for a tablet, but want a detachable keyboard for serious typing, look at the Miix line starting with the 510 model like mine<\/a> or the latest Miix 630\u00a0 starting at $899<\/a>.\u00a0 You\u2019ll enjoy a 20-hour battery life, 12.3\u201d screen and it\u2019s loaded with Windows 10S.<\/p>\n Feel free to use my Insider access for potential savings.\u00a0 Find the computer of your dreams at this special site: http:\/\/www.lenovo.com\/insiderseppus<\/a><\/p>\n Yes, it\u2019s the Victorinox Swiss Army Classic pocketknife that\u2019s been around for years and still the best in my estimation.\u00a0 The blade stays sharp and the mini-scissors are so valuable when only scissors will do. Pack in a toothpick, tweezers, screwdriver and fingernail file and it\u2019s still smaller than your thumb.\u00a0 They are inexpensive enough to buy them by the half dozen so you\u2019ll always have one handy.\u00a0 Available in 32 colors\/designs. (Starting at $13.99 at Amazon)<\/a><\/p>\n One of the most amazing purchases I still own and use every single day is the Ogio Renegade RSS backpack<\/a>.\u00a0 I\u2019ve had the option to try many backpacks since 2013 when I got this one, but none of the others surpass the ruggedness and flexibility of my beloved Renegade RSS.\u00a0 I\u2019ve taken it to five continents and it\u2019s the one I won\u2019t leave home without.\u00a0 Holds up to a 15\u201d laptop and has a padded interior pocket for a tablet as well.\u00a0 (Starting at $111 on Amazon)<\/a><\/p>\n The Big House 4<\/a> is the tent I wish I had when my young kids were camping with me.\u00a0 Super easy to carry and one person can set it up easily.\u00a0 With the additional, optional vestibule you can store all your wet gear outside and still have plenty of room inside the tent.\u00a0 (Tent only $299 at Amazon<\/a>)<\/p>\n The Big Agnes Men\u2019s Farnsworth Hooded Jacket<\/a> has been my cold weather protection for the past three winters.\u00a0 I love its lightweight, and ultra-warm synthetic insulation.\u00a0 It\u2019s wind-proof and water resistant.\u00a0 ($199 at Amazon)<\/a><\/p>\n I first rented one of these for a cross-country road trip a few years back and immediately fell in love with it.\u00a0 As a multi-purpose vehicle, it can\u2019t be beaten.\u00a0 The back five seats all fold completely flat into the back floor, so you can sleep in comfort there.\u00a0 Or, do as I did and build a storage box along the back driver\u2019s side, still enabling three of the seats to be accessible on a moments notice.\u00a0 Chrysler has outshined all the other automakers on how to do mini-vans right.<\/p>\n When I switched from my beloved Chevy Tahoe, I hated to lose the road clearance, but a mini-van was the only way to get a garageable vehicle in my development. Since I\u2019ve had it, I\u2019ve had no regrets.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve used many brands of power tools over the years, but I think the best value for the buck goes to DeWalt when it comes to battery operated tools.\u00a0 If you want the complete package for 90% of the jobs you\u2019ll ever handle, this DeWalt DCK620D2 20V MA compact 6-tool combo kit should definitely fill the bill and won\u2019t break the bank.\u00a0 ($360 at Amazon)<\/a><\/p>\n Away from home, and you haven\u2019t bought that Town and Country van yet with the 110v outlet? Well, myCharge has an answer for you with their AdventureUltra Portable Charger<\/a>.\u00a0 It\u2019s a 13,400mAh battery power pack that has one AC port, one USB-C and two USB-A ports for just about anything requiring less than 45 watts of power.<\/p>\n If you can live without the 110-volt option, check out their HubPlus 6700mAh Power Bank with integral wall recharging plug and built-in Lightning and Micro-USB connectors.\u00a0 There\u2019s an additional USB port for a third device or one that requires USB-C charging cords. ($79 at myCharge)<\/a><\/p>\n We\u2019ve been using the Wusthof Ten Piece Block Set Gourmet for about three years now and still love the feel of the knives and their inherent sharpness.\u00a0 The 10-pc block set has about everything you\u2019ll ever need for meal prep. \u00a0($199 at Amazon)<\/a><\/p>\n Also, for you backyard grillers, be sure to check out their BBQ tools set<\/a>.\u00a0 Super high quality, these will serve you well and probably last a lifetime.\u00a0 ($99 at Williams Sonoma)<\/a><\/p>\n Disclosure:\u00a0 Many of these products were provided to us by the manufacturer for our initial testing and review some time ago.\u00a0 None have paid for placement in this gift guide and all opinions are strictly our own \u2013 as always on this blog.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n Links to many of the products are affiliate links and we do receive a small payment if you purchase from them \u2013 which we use to subsidize the cost of running this site.\u00a0 For that we thank you; but, rest assured that we really do believe in all the products mentioned here and recommend them unequivocally. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the past, I\u2019ve featured some crazy cool products for our gift guides, but this year I thought I would concentrate on tried-and-true brands as opposed to brand new items.\u00a0 Every brand here is one that I\u2019ve used, abused, and continue to use today.
