Best tech bargains: 18 December

[[Artnid:312785|Canon SELPHY CP780]]

Price: $159 (Save $40)

Dell's [[Artnid:329840|Wasabi]] might be one of the cheapest portable photo printers around, but it doesn't always produce the best quality or even handle standard 4x6in photos. If you're after a better quality image you can stick in a photo frame, Canon's SELPHY CP780 is an easy-to-use solution that offers an optional battery pack for printing family memories on the go. While $199 is already a reasonable price, Dick Smith is currently offering the printer [[xref:http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/4b2ab4dd022e5aec2742c0a87e01067d/Product/View/XP0780|for $159]].
Navman MY50T GPS unit

Price: $258 (Save: $91)

Though [[artnid:317724|Navman's MY50T]] is far from perfect, a large screen and a revamped user interface make it effortless to use. It features built-in traffic support, lane guidance and 3D junction views. You can pick it up from [[xref:http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/4b2ab80903a78a3a2742c0a87e01065f/Product/View/D4443|Dick Smith for just $258]], which is a saving of $91 off the regular RRP!

Apple iPhone 3GS

Price: $879

Let's face it — if you don't already have an [[artnid:309245|iPhone]], you probably want one for Christmas. If you do, we think Vodafone has the best deal going around at the moment. You can pick up a 16GB iPhone 3GS in black or white for [[xref:http://www.vodafone.com.au/personal/iphone/index.htm|$0 on a $69 cap plan over 24 months]]. Alternatively, if you don't want to be locked into a two year contract, you can grab the iPhone 3GS outright and unlocked for $879 from the [[xref:http://store.apple.com/au/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone?mco=MTAyNTQzMTI|Apple Store]].
[[Artnid: 329533|Panasonic TH-P54Z1A]]

Price: $6646.00 (save $343)

We think Panasonic's [[Artnid:329533|TH-P54Z1A]] is [[artnid:330256|one of the best plasmas of 2009|Top 5 plasma TVs of 2009]] — it's super slim, has a great picture and incorporates a wireless Full HD 1080P video and audio receiver. One downside is that it's seriously expensive, clocking in at roughly $7000 for the 54in model. You can find a fair chunk shaved off the price if you shop around — [[xref:http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/plasma-lcd-tvs/plasma-tv/panasonic-th-p54z1a-viera-neo-full-hd-plasma-tv-bonus-camera-wii-from-panasonic-until-24-12-09/473380?utm_source=JB-AU&utm_medium=button&utm_content=buy-online-button-tvs&utm_campaign=buy-online-button|JB Hi-Fi's Web price of $6646|JB Hi-Fi: Panasonic TH-P54Z1A plasma television]] is a decent saving without any haggling needed.
[[artnid:329557|Dyson Air Multiplier]]

Price: $334 (Save $45)

Dyson's "bladeless fan" is very expensive, but also incredibly cool. We had a surprising amount of fun when we got it in for testing, and, despite the price, it scored an impressive four stars. You can pick it up from [[xref: https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/p-2437-dyson-air-multiplier-am01dm25ib.aspx| Appliancesonline.com.au]] and save $45 off the recommended retail price of the 25cm model.
