The year I turned 13, the only thing I wanted for my birthday was a digital camera.Digital cameras were a hot commodity in the late 2000s, and all the cool kids in school had point-and-shoots that they’d pull out in the cafeteria, giggling as they took candids that they later uploaded to Facebook. I wanted one so badly that I’d leave clippings of Best Buy ads around the house, hoping my mom would pick up on my not-so-subtle hints.She did, and I still remember the overwhelming feeling of joy buzzing in my veins as I ripped through the wrapping paper to find my very first point-and-shoot digital camera. I used it religiously throughout high school, snapping silly photos of my friends at pep rallies and documenting every sleepover in great detail.Eventually, camera phones rendered that compact point-and-shoot redundant, but for a while it was the most important accessory in my backpack.Now, nearly 20 years later, Gen Z has resuscitated the digital camera craze. My Wirecutter colleagues covered the renewed interest in “vintage” cameras last year, and if the TikToks are to be believed, the college crowd still considers the point-and-shoot a must-have “going out” essential.The very same item that topped my wish list in 2007 is still calling out to the youth, which makes a digital camera a great gift for the tweens, teens, and young adults in your life.But if you really want to impress them, you should give them a phone-compatible memory card reader, too.
