Great Gifts for the Photographer Father

Father's Day is coming up this Sunday and it's time to start considering some great gifts to give your dad. Power tools, ties, sporting gear, and computers are all well and good and many dads will love them. However, if your father is into photography, then he might prefer some of the great selections from Sony, Canon, and Nikon for this Father's Day. First of all, there's the Sony Alpha 58. This DSLR comes available in several different bundles to meet your particular needs and is fully-loaded with dozens of great features including auto HDR, SteadyShot INSIDEimage stabilization, lock-on AF for even easier focusing of moving subjects, and an advanced 15-point AF system with three cross-sensors. This camera is great for entry-level DSLR users or for experienced professionals who are looking for a solid camera without all of the bulk of the bigger DSLRs. Secondly comes the Nikon D3300 DSLR. Like the Sony Alpha, the Nikon D3300 comes loaded with dozens of great features to help you take your photography to the next level. However, the Nikon D3300 also allows for integration with your smartphone, letting you use your phone as a remote viewfinder or remote control. It also is WiFi compatible, making it easy to upload and share your photos where ever you are. Last but not least is the Canon EOS Rebel T3i. This DSLR is one of Canon's finest members of the EOS line. With all of the features photographers have come to expect from an EOS, the Rebel T3i also includes great image stabilization, reducing the need for tripods or other accessories, and comes with a price tag that makes it one of the most economical DSLRs for anyone to own. And, with fast, free shipping on all of these cameras, if you order them soon, you'll easily have them in plenty of time for Father's Day! -- da Bird
