PROFESSIONAL DSLR
Photography makes these moments last for a lifetime.
A DSLR camera is an appropriate gift for the holidays. Of course, they are more expensive and require a better understanding of camera functions. Nonetheless, DSLRs are built to offer better images while giving the photographer more control over how the final image looks.
For example, the DSLR’s lens can be adjusted to focus more precisely at various points within a scene. These cameras offer superior quality in low-light and nighttime environments. Full High-Definition movies can also be captured with some of the most inexpensive DSLR cameras. You can also look out for certain models that the LCD monitor can flip out and rotate allowing the camera to become more versatile to use.
External software is necessary to edit the images. Yet, with the proper adjustments, a photographer can add a personal artistic style to any collection.

LENSES
The best gift you can possibly give to someone who loves photography is a set of lenses. The lens collects the reflected light from the subject and then directs the information to the sensor for processing to create the final image.
For compact cameras, i.e. those which have a built-in lens, additional lenses cannot be used. Cameras which have the capability to use different lenses are known as Interchangeable Lens Cameras (ILCs).
There are two major types of ILCs – (a) Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras and (b) Mirror-less Interchangeable Lens Cameras (MILCs). Also keep in mind, the more glass that the lens has, the sharper the image will be produced regardless of which type of camera it is. There are certain considerations that you need to look into before choosing the right lens. This guide will help you to make a decision about the right lens and how to buy it.
