Digital Trends

Memories are great things. Still, it’s a lot better having hard copies of events (specifically, pictures and videos) to help you relive each special moment rather than some hazy thoughts that get cloudier with each passing year. Enter 10 digital cameras and camcorders new for this holiday season that prove just the trick when it comes to documenting any occasion. Fancy yourself ready to start preserving all those heartwarming fireside chats and festive dinners for future generations to come? Snap those shutter buttons or hit record and let these great gadgets do the rest.

Canon PowerShot G10, $499 

The G series is near and dear to the hearts of shutterbugs. They love the old rangefinder feel, and it’s a solid, portable point-and-shoot unit that’s great to snap pictures with when the old D-SLR isn’t readily available. The new G10 has been bumped up to 14.7 megapixels while the lens is a 28-140mm 5x zoom; OIS is a given. Also new are click dials for changing ISO and modes, a cool retro throwback. The huge 3-inch LCD rated 461K pixels is a beauty as well. (Check Price)
