Digital cameras and camcorders

Whether you want to encourage your budding photographers/filmmakers or simply want them to send some snapshots home, a digital camera or camcorder is a great gift for students. A budget camera's great for inexpensive memories, while a prosumer video camera might be your kids' ticket to Cannes.
