Photoxels Gift Guide 2012

Here’s our Gift Guide for the best digital cameras of 2012. There are many things you can give as a gift this Holiday Season — and a camera is the gift that lasts a lifetime in memories. We reviewed these digital cameras in 2012 and present to you our favorites. There’s got to be one for that special someone.

For each camera, we list the major specs and give the links for our review. You can also shop for the best prices at our sponsors (and support this site — Thanks!).

If you’re still not sure, why not email this guide to the person(s) and let them give you a hint? This way, you guarantee that the present you give is the present they want to receive! Or, send this page as a hint to what you want to receive this Holiday Season.
