This is issue #13 of Carnival of Digital Cameras and Photography. Carnival of Digital Cameras and Photography is a weekly round-up of all the latest news, trends, digital camera reviews, top blogs, photography tips and professional advice.
Christmas shopping fever - With the passage of Thanksgiving, there is an infusion of digital camera gift guides and articles. As one of the most coveted Christmas gifts, this is no surprise. You can check out my Digital Camera Gift Guide . The Digital Photography Blog features Digital Camera Christmas Gift Ideas. Photography Blog features a Holiday Gift Guide 2005.
The hidden costs - Digital cameras are sure getting cheaper. It used to be you'd drop $300 for a 3-megapixel digital camera. But your spending doesn't end when you buy the camera: now there's memory cards, accessories and more, notes Photography Blog in its weekly Saturday Shout.
Digital Cameras for Grandparents - Grandparents love to take pictures, but sometimes gift givers assume they won't like digital cameras. Not true! MSN features a list of four easy digital cameras for grandparents. Get some tips on what to look for when shopping for grandma or grandpa with my article, "Cameras for Grandparents: Gift-Buying Tips."

Digital camera reviews:

• SanDisk ImageMate, a memory card reader.
• Digital Foci Image Moments, a digital picture frame.
• Panasonic DMC FX9, a 6-megapixel digital camera with 3x optical zoom.

The Carnival of Digital Cameras and Photography will run weekly. To find out more about the carnival (or just what the heck a carnival IS anyway), or to find out how to see your site here or host the carnival on your site, see my main Carnival of Cameras page.
So You Want to Host the Carnival? - I'd love to hear from you! As a carnival, this should really rotate from host site to host site. I'm looking for other digital camera blog sites willing to join the hosting rotation. I can provide you with very simple instructions for writing a carnival entry. You will get great exposure for your site, which will be linked from my carnival page and my main page. If you are interested, e-mail me at cameras@about.com. Include your blog's URL.
