Father's Day Gift Guide

What do fathers really want for their special day? Sure, you can always go the tie or cologne route (again), but if you want to really put a smile on Dad's dial, make sure the present he unwraps has tech inside.

We've rounded up our top ten gift suggestions, but seriously, there's a lot more on our site to choose from. Whether you're after a camera or camcorder for a new dad, the latest smartphone for a gadget hound, a GPS to avoid arguments over road directions, a Blu-ray player for a film buff, or a game for his new console, CNET.com.au has looked at the latest the market has to offer.

When you see something that strikes your fancy, why not save it to a My Products list? You can create your personal "Want it" wishlist to email to friends and family the next time you need to send not-so-subtle hints for presents you'd like to receive. Wouldn't you like to make your loved ones' shopping easier? And wouldn't your life be easier right now if Dad had shared his "Want it" list with you?

    • Panasonic SDR-SW20

      Panasonic SDR-SW20

      The cool factor of waterproof gadgets is high, even when there's a subsequent trade-off in performance. Anyone going any deeper than snorkel depth will need to look elsewhere, but at least the price reflects the compromises made for that cheerily tough exterior.

    • Sony Handycam DCR-SR45

      Sony Handycam DCR-SR45

      The Sony Handycam DCR-SR45 has a good design and reasonable feature set for its price, but the video quality doesn't measure up to the rest of the package.

    • Canon HF10

      Canon HF10

      Canon's first flash-based camcorder, the Canon HF10, delivers excellent HD video quality and performance in a tiny package.

    • Samsung VP-HMX10 Progressive HD Camcorder

      Samsung VP-HMX10 Progressive HD Camcorder

      The HMX10 makes a decent entry-level HD camcorder — with an awful lot of limitations.

    • Panasonic HDC-HS9

      Panasonic HDC-HS9

      This year's high-def hybrid camcorder from Panasonic is of the much more useful SD card/hard-disk variety. There's 60GB of on-board storage and 1080p recording at 25fps.
