Giving a digital SLR as a gift isn’t practical or affordable for most of us. A new lens is a great alternative gift for a photographer, though. Every photographer can use a new lens – especially if they’re still using the kit lens that came with their camera. There’s no one-size-fits-all SLR lens but I’ve chosen five quality zoom lenses that I think have universal appeal and won’t send you to the poorhouse. Almost every photographer will benefit from at least one of the lenses on this list.

In this guide you’ll find five great digital cameras that offer a lot of value for your money. Times are tough and most of us can’t afford to buy the latest and greatest. If you want to give a digital camera this Holiday Season but you’re seriously short on cash, consider shopping for used or overstock cameras. You don’t need to buy the newest, top-of-the-line model to get a great camera. Most people will be surprised by how good last year’s cameras are. Digital SLRs in particular have been excellent for a few years now – there isn’t a bad one to be had. Point-and-shoots offer more features and better performance for far less money than just two or three years ago – you really can get a good digital camera for under $150 now.

Here’s a second wacky camera intro from NYC photographer, Bob Scott. This one is for Nikon’s new 12-megapixel full-frame D3S professional digital SLR, which looks like it could be the new king of low light photography. Bob visited with Nikon and checked out the new D3S at the PhotoPlus Expo in New York a few weeks ago and then decided to make this video preview. It covers the basic features and specs of the camera and manages to be pretty entertaining at the same time.
