If you don’t need to blow your photos up to poster size, opt for a few less pixels and save a fortune. Samsung as 8 megapixel digital cameras for less than $100. Three years ago you would have paid 6 times that amount for half the resolution. Don’t you love progress!

Mini Digital Photo Frames

Digital picture frames have been around for a few years and the new twist is to carry mini versions around in your pocket or as a key chain. While a pocket digital picture viewer won’t work for digital-photo-savvy iPhone or iPod users, it’s a perfect gift to pre-load with family pics and send to grandparents.
