Canon HF S-11 Digital HD Camcorder — Mavromatic’s 2009 Holiday Gift Guide
CANON HF S-11 DIGITAL HD CAMCORDER ($1399) – There are digital cameras that are camcorders and camcorders that are digital cameras… the lines are a blurring… but don’t let all this confuse you. If you are looking for a high quality, all digital, HD camcorder then the HF S-11 is your answer. Features a Dual Flash Memory system which has 64 GB of internal flash memory and unlimited capacity on SDHC cards. The video is stunning at full 1920×1080 (1080p) resolution and uses a Canon designed and manufactured 1/2.6″ 8.59 Megapixel Full HD CMOS Image Sensor (similar to the CMOS image sensors in Canon’s EOS Series Digital SLR cameras). With an image sensor like that, it means you also get an 8-Megapixel digital camera too boot. The unit is also small and fits in the palm of your hand making it the perfect camera to take with you all the time!

Barnes & Noble Nook / Amazon Kindle eBook Readers — 2009 Holiday Gift Idea
BARNES & NOBLE NOOK eBOOK READER / AMAZON KINDLE ($259) — The Amazon.com Kindle was the first eBook reader that really made an impact. However, the newly announced Nook from Barnes & Noble is a very good gift idea for a book worm or technology geek. The native PDF support and color LCD screen in addition to the eInk screen makes this reader the most advanced one yet. The panel is currently sold out until Jan 4th, however, you can still give the gift as the form of a Nook Gift Certificate. For those that want to give a gift that can actually be under the tree in time for Christmas, the Amazon Kindle is still a great option.

Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GF1 — Mavromatic’s 2009 Holiday Gift Guide
PANASONIC LUMIX DMC-GF1 ($899) – A DSLR may be considered too bulky for some people and that’s why Panasonic’s highly reviewed Lumix DMC-GF1 is a great gift for the photographer in your family. The DMC-GF1 is a 12.1-megapixel “Micro Four Thirds” based camera which means there isn’t a mirror and pentaprism inside so the camera can be made much more compact. Quality is comparable with similarly priced DSLR’s and another selling point of a “Micro Four Thirds” camera is that you can mount “any” lens that is made to this standard… even from other manufacturers.
