The Fujifilm Finepix JX200 is a 12 megapixel camera with 5x optical zoom and 28mm wide angle. What this means is that it allows you to print poster size photo without it looking “pixelated”. The 5x optical zoom makes it a better choice than average camera since it allows you to take objects that are further without physically having to move forward. The wide angle makes JX200 a nice camera to own when taking family photos – you no longer have to keep moving backwards to fit everyone in the picture. The JX200 also has a 2.7 Inch LCD display – small, but good enough for picture taking.

What makes it a perfect gift:
The Fujifilm Finepix JX200 is a value-for-money camera considering its price and specifications. It’s also available in a wide range of colours – silver, black, blue, pink & red so I’m pretty sure that there is one colour that suits him/her.

RSP: $199 includes 8GB memory card & case. [Special X’mas promotion at Song Brothers’ includes additional battery, screen protector & mini tripod. Available at Song Brothers Sim Lim Square #01-59, Song Brothers Funan #02-43 & Click! Tampines 1 #02-01]

If you are looking at something more stylish in design, you might want to consider the Panasonic Lumix DMC F2.

DMC F2 is a good 10 mega pixel camera operated by lithium battery. It has a 4x optical zoom, good for taking scenery photos. It’s coupled with Intelligent Auto, so you don’t have to worry about pressing on buttons to change to macro or night scenery mode – it does so automatically. It also has “high sensitivity” mode that is good for concert photos which the object is constantly moving.

What makes it a perfect gift:
For the price of $199, you can a stylish camera with pretty good photo quality. It’s available in the usual silver and black, with 8GB memory card and Case. [Available at Song Brothers Sim Lim Square #01-59, Song Brothers Funan #02-43, Click! Tampines 1 #02-01]
