Help a Budding Photog

If you see potential for a great photographer in a teen or other member of your family, or simply want your photographer friend to have a good compact camera so they can take more photos in more places, here are two suggestions:

• Fujifilm XQ2: This lower-cost model will give better image quality than most smartphones, and won’t confuse new photographers with too many features.
• Sony Cyber-shot RX100: Newer cameras might have more to offer, but you can’t beat the price on this model that’s been offering great results for years.

The Almost-Pro

For someone who already has equipment and tools, why not help them improve their craft? With a one-on-one photography workshop with a professional photographer, you’ll be an instrumental part of helping someone you love explore their abilities.

We hope you have found some great gifts for photographers here, but if you have any suggestions we would love to hear them!
