Answer
Most photographic equipment is personal preference.

If you want a tripod for a small $100 P&S (point & shoot) camera, then Vivitar/ Sunpak/ Weng Dong (or other chinese sounding name) would be okay. For a SLR or DSLR camera,then get a trusted brand...Manfrotto/Bogen,Vanguard, Slik, Gitzo, etc

As far as other ideas...
1) Gift cards to a local camera shop (not bestbuy/walmart)
2) Gift card to B&H Photo... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/find/giftCard.jsp
3) A camera lens coffee mug... http://www.canonmugs.com/

Im buying a DSLR and not sure what lens to get.?

Daniel

Im getting a Canon 60D that comes with a 75-300mm Lens and am thinking about getting an extra lens(18-55mm) for $100. Should i buy the 18-55 or will the 75-300 be enough?
Should i just get the 18-135 kit if neither of these?

Answer
The 75-300 is the worst lens Canon ever made, the dealer's looking for a mug to take it off his hands.


Get the camera and 18-55mm from another dealer, one you can trust.

EDIT: The 18-135 is definitely a better option.
