Getting some one you love a camera for Christmas? Take some time to prepare. If the camera comes with rechargeable batteries take some time and charge the batteries before you wrap the gift. Also be sure they have a memory card. Then when the one you love opens the camera it is ready to shoot.... It only takes a little planning. And they will thank you....

Some Cool camera's for this Christmas 2010
For most folks the Sony HX1 will provide several years of great family photography. With clear macro and a 20x zoom you can capture almost anything. It also records hd video as well as panorama pictures. This is classified as a point and shoot and will be more than enough camera for family, vacations, hobby photography. No lenses to carry around all in one reasonably small package. Cost around $350.00
Not a Sony Fan..... The Nikon Cool Pix 100 below also about $300 will do almost everything the Sony will. It is missing the in a camera HDR, otherwise you will find this a joy to use for family, hobby and general photography...
Want a more Serious camera, with some recent price drops the Nikon D90 is probably one of the best buys on the market. About $800 for the back and the lens of choice will be the Nikon 18-200 VRII lens about $695 this combination gives you one of the best Nikon Digital SLR with one of the best DX zooms on the market. Of course you can add more lenses later. This camera will fill your needs to the professional level, until you need large (48 inch plus prints) prints. I have recommended this camera to several friends and all who own it love it.
New, a point an shoot size camera with interchangeable lens. Sony is unique in this market in that the Sony Nex3 and Sony Nex 5 give you a full DX frame, in a very compact space. Picture quality is good, it too will do panorama, and in camera hdr, as well as HD video. So far the ratings have been good and at about $600 for the camera and one lens it is a good choice. Keep in mind the manual function on this camera leaves some to be desired, but the auto and near manual settings work fine. Compact, versatile and full DX frame with interchangeable lens....
Want a cheaper point and shoot.
Check almost any Nikon, Canon or Sony point and shoot camera. You will be fine. I also like the Olympus Stylus Tough cameras that are water proof, they take a great picture and are very tough.
You can get a good point and shoot compact digital camera for about 150 up. If you pick out one and want me to give you an opinion on it post it here and I will respond.
Based on the reviews I have read stay away from the Nikon 3000, the Canon d50, and the Sony Alph 200. The Sony Alph series 300 and above are good cameras.... Check your prices. For example when I bought my Stylus Tough camera, it was 72 dollars cheaper on the Best Buy web site than it was in their store.
I prefer to buy local if you can. Columbia Photo has a great selection of cameras check them out. Just compare prices.
