- Memory cards- be it SD, SDHC, compact flash or the Sony Memory Stick. Memory cards are without question a must have and lots of them. They are an inexpensive gift or stocking stuffer that will be greatly appreciated by any photographer.
- Aftermarket camera strap. If you are an avid photographer these 15-20 dollar beauties are invaluable if you are hiking or are in need of carrying your camera for an extended period of time.
- Cleaning kits- These kits have become increasingly less expensive over the past couple years. These are a great purchase and one that will be appreciated so much, especially after a few outings of missed photos due to artifacts on your image.
- Remote Shutter Release- These are great for taking your own family portraits or a great creative tool if you are looking to do some self portraits.
- Gorilla Pod- A great invention that has come on the scene recently. These flexible small tripods can attach to numerous structures making it an extremely versatile and lightweight tripod.
- Extra lens caps- If you have lost one, you know that a spare can prevent you from scratching that expensive lens that a 5-10 dollar lens cap could have saved.
- A photography magazine subscription. Prices for subscriptions have came way down and why not give that photography a gift that comes every month.
