Go, Go Gadget Mom

Chris McGinn posted a blog on Digital Landing! Read about a camera every mom can enjoy for her special holiday.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner and gadget gifts aren’t just for dad.



The new Canon Powershot SD780 IS Digital Elph or its better-equipped siblings would make a great gift for the mom-on-the-go. For just $250 (with rebate) the 12.1 megapixel camera is a great option for a grab and go camera. It also has HD movie capabilities. The higher zoom options are $299 and $379, respectively.

I have a nice DSLR but it isn’t something I can stick in my diaper bag and have with me everywhere. A camera like this though could really help a mom be sure to capture all the shots she wants.

Oh, hubby . . .

Rugged and Ready

Jessie Atkin posted a new blog on Digital Landing. Read about the new digital camera that won't break without trying.

Digital camera’s are everywhere now (obviously) but, as with any camera, there pretty expensive and pretty fragile. Unless you get the kid friendly little tikes types odds are your camera will not survive a tumble down the stairs.

That’s why the Canon PowerShot D1 is a fantastic upgrade. It’s Canon’s first point and shoot with rugged capabilities (like being able to be submerged, dropped, freeze, to a point, and survive). Still with 3x zoom and 12 megapixels you’re not sacrificing quality, and as always it’s sleek and cool looking. Supposedly interchangeable face plates will also be offered with the D1 so you can customize your look.

$329 is pricey, but not out of range for the camera type and lets be honest, in the long run not having to pay for fixes and repairs may help the camera pay for itself.
