Camera Bags.Whilst camera bags are practical accessories they can add to you look as far as the fashion stakes are concerned and are inexpensive.

Camera bags, especially backpacks, have the added bonus of hiding the fact that you have a camera in your possession. There are numerous styles, brands, models and colors but you can pick up a robust back for around $15.

For a birthday gift the Tamarac 3536 Express 6 is an ideal quality camera bag, it sells at about the $35 mark and it's main feature is that it looks more like a fashion accessory than a camera bag. The Samsonite Microfibre Deluxe is a cheaper,but still good quality option, priced at about $15.

Get A Steady Picture - Digital Camera Tripods.

Think of it in these terms - let's say you smash your digital camera you still have the tripod! A main feature of a good tripod are that it should be light and the TR-60N from Digital Concepts matches this requirement, it is also excellent value for money at around the £13 mark.

Charging Units For The Digital Camera.

Having a separate set of batteries and a good charger will avoid the inconveinience that this event can cause.

It is worth checking if your camera does work off rechargeables and if so is there a specific make or model that it uses. A good allround charger is the CTA Digital DC which can recharge AAA or AA batteries in about 4 hours. It caters for dual voltage so can be used in the Indian subcontinent as well as China.

Do You Have Enough Memory?

Depending upon the size of your memory card you can literally store thousands of images which most people tend to keep as they can't be bothered to go through them and delete the ones that they don't like.

The price ranges for the same size memory cards do vary so you need to do some research before purchasing one in order to get the best deal. Time will be worth spent also checking which cards are compatable with your camera.

The Sandisk 2GB SD card can easily take upto 600 high resolution pictures and can be picked up for as little as $15 however ensure that your camera supports high capacity memory cards before you purchase one.
