Choose for the photographer
- For a first camera: explore camera gifts for beginners. Check the exact film format or digital power and memory requirements before choosing.
- For a hands-on learner: compare SLR film cameras. Confirm a suitable lens is included and allow for film and developing.
- For a collector: browse rare and collectable cameras. Match the exact model and condition to their interests; some are better suited to an experienced owner.
- For a retro-digital fan: explore retro digital camera gifts. Check batteries, chargers, memory cards and photo transfer before choosing.
Christmas camera gift questions
Film or digital: which makes the better gift?
Choose film for someone who enjoys a slower process and is happy to buy film and pay for developing. A retro digital camera avoids film processing, but check the battery, charger, compatible memory card and a way to transfer photos.
Is every camera ready to use straight away?
Not necessarily. Testing and included accessories vary by listing. Read the individual notes and photos, and ask us about anything needed separately. APS and other film formats are not interchangeable with ordinary 35mm film.
Can you help me choose?
Yes—tell us your budget and who the gift is for. For more detailed advice, read our camera gift guide. For lenses and accessories, browse all camera gifts.
What about Christmas delivery and returns?
Free UK standard delivery uses Royal Mail Tracked 48; an express Special Delivery option is available at checkout. Our dispatch cutoff is 12 noon UK time and we also dispatch on Saturdays. Dispatch is not the same as delivery: contact us before ordering close to Christmas, as no Christmas arrival guarantee is made here. You can request a return within 30 days of receiving your item. See our delivery information and full returns terms.
