Carnival of Digital Cameras and Photography is a weekly round-up of all the latest news, trends, digital camera reviews, top blogs, photography tips and professional advice.
With only one week to go before Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, it is only appropriate for this issue of the Carnival of Digital Cameras to inlcude plenty of gift ideas for all of you last-minute shoppers.
I'll make sure that we cover enough possible options for anyone considering a new digital camera purchase for the coming holidays.
For Moms - any mom who spends a lot of time with the kids needs a good digital camera to capture all of those priceless childhood moments. With hundreds of options to choose from, it can be a bit tough trying to find the perfect gift, which is why the Top 7 Digital Photo Gifts for Mom can help you out. You might also consider the Sony DSC-T1, recommended by a lot of visitors to Engadget.
For Dads - what to get the father who has plenty of ties already? A digital camera, of course! Once again, there are just too many choices to choose from. Narrow down your options with The Top 5 Digital Cameras for Dads and this review of the Fujifilm Finepix E550 from a Dad who uses it to photograph his kids.
For Teens - a digital SLR is probably not the right camera to get for a teen, unless they are a budding photojournalist. Most teens will probably be more interested in small, light, portable cameras that can go everywhere they can. You can find out about some of them with the 5 Top Digital Cameras for Teens.
For Anyone - if you're not shopping for a mom, a dad or a teen, then your best bet is to start with some lists put together by editors who get to play with every digital camera on the market. For example, try the C|Net Editor's Choice list.
For Inspiration - finally, if you've already got a digital camera and are looking for ways to be inspired to use it, look no further than Time's Best Photos of the Year for 2005.
