Gift Ideas for Christmas VI

Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD, $280 For the price, this model offers a lot of features. It can auto-crop photos into a 16:9 wide-screen ratio, like Canon's G10, and does high-def movie capture. Pros: Great colors and exposure levels when shooting indoors with the flash off. This is important since a blast of flash can kill the nuance of a moment. We also liked the thick rubber grip for a steady hold on the camera when shooting one-handed. Cons: Cheap lens cap that simply slides straight on instead of clipping or screwing in place. And while the colors are very accurate, the auto-focus failed to produce good details on several occasions.
