The final post in MommyBlogExpert's Best Buy #HintingSeason holiday series is all about cameras, which is probably my favorite of all tech gadget categories to use and talk about. That's because I love photography and take thousands of pictures each year with my iPhone and various other cameras for MBE and to document my family's many exotic travel adventures.


Best Buy is the ultimate place to shop for the big three camera brands: Nikon, Sony and Samsung. I already own cameras with built-in Wi-Fi made by the latter two brands and Nikon is on my personal wish list this holiday season.  If you don't already own a camera with Wi-Fi, this would be a great time to upgrade your current one in time to capture those fabulous holiday memories -- particularly if you have young children.


Check out key features of 

these cutting edge cameras...

Whether your family celebrates Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa, holidays are about making memories with family, especially all those special moments with the kids. My four children -- triplets plus one all born within a year -- are now approaching or are in college now and I cannot tell you how thankful I am for all the photos and video we took of them as they were growing up.

As I've learned from personal experience -- and you will too if you have little ones now -- kids grow up in the blink of an eye and the years really do fly by quicker than you expect. That's why is so important to have a good camera like the Canon EOS Rebel T5i that's available at Best Buy. A camera that can reliably capture quality still and video images of children as they move through all of the life's growth stages from baby to toddler to elementary school, to high school, to college, to getting married and raising families of their own.
