The most common type of camera gift is the point and shoot digital camera and one of the tops dogs is the Canon PowerShot SD850 IS.

This camera includes an 8.0-megapixel sensor, 4x optical zoom, optical viewfinder, 2.5-inch LCD screen and a compact design that would fit in any pocket or bag. The IS in the name is for the image stabilizer to prevent any blurry photos. It also includes face recognition for the perfect focus every time. It is available for $260 at most outlets.
