What does your Amazon wish list say about you? Amazon offered me a look at the top 20 items on wish lists of Orange County shoppers and at a glance, you’d think the typical OC Shopper is getting ready for solo bird-watching hikes.

According to Amazon, the 5 most wished-for items when it comes to electronics are a portable GPS, a solar gadget charger, an iPod Touch, a pocket camera and a wide-angle zoom lens. 

Here’s how we compare to the average Amazon shopper nationwide:

What is with all the iPods? Nationwide, the typical Amazon electronics shopper is obsessed with Apple and has three types of iPods in the five most wished-for items (and eight out of the top 20 spots).

One notable tidbit: Everyone loves Canon cameras. Eight of the top 20 items on both the national and O.C. wish lists are Canon camera products. One possibility is that Amazon frequently offers rebates and discounts on Canon products, including this current offer.

While Amazon provided the data to me, they had no one who could tell me the conversion rate of how many items on a wish list do get purchased. That left me questions such as: Do people really want that many iPods?  Do wish lists get fulfilled? Should I be investing in Apple and Canon stock?

What’s on your wishlist?
