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?

Sony Handycam HDR-HC7

More pixels, a more potent battery, and headphone and mic jacks are incremental improvements to last year's model, but the HDR-HC7 now looks like a AU$2,000-plus camcorder.
