Welcome to the Camera-Warehouse Christmas Camera Buying Guide, where we list the best way to spend your money this Christmas.

Remember also, we're taking Xmas lay-by orders now so you don't miss out. Just place your order as normal, and in the 'Special Instructions' field in the checkout, tell us when you'd like us to ship the goods (see Christmas lay-bys from Camera-Warehouse for more information).

Browse to your budget below to find what we think are the best digital camera deals this Christmas:

Under $100:

If you didn't think $100 bought you anything these days, you'd be wrong. Our top tip in the sub-$100 category is the Kodak EasyShare Picture Viewer. This is a digital photo album in your pocket, complete with 2.5" LCD screen, and great value at only $69. These would set you back $300 until now.

Under $200:

Digital cameras for under $200? We can do better than that. How about digital camera, 128MB SD memory, 4x AA rechargeable batteries and charger, table-top tripod and

UPDATE:
They just keep coming...we can now confirm that the D40 will be available in two forms, both kits, pricing as follows:

Nikon D40 18-55mm AF-S kit - $949
Nikon D40 18-55mm AF-S + 55-200mm AF-S kit - $1199

You can pre-order both of these kits immediately. Nikon is suggesting that limited numbers will be available for pre-Xmas delivery, so please get in quick if you're interested. You can cancel at any time, but better to have that option than not. As yet, no body only option is available.

UPDATE:
We have pictures of the Nikon D40 available now, plus confirmation of the tech specs below:

With 6 weeks to go until Xmas, and stock availability for most popular models is already starting to tighten up.

If you haven't done so already, we strongly advise pre-ordering your camera-related Xmas presents now to avoid disappointment.

Xmas pre-ordering with Camera-Warehouse is easy:

• just place your order as normal and in the special instructions box, tell us when you'd like to receive the goods
• you won't pay anything until the goods are allocated to your order
• if you want the goods right away, we'll charge the full amount at that point and ship the goods
• if you want us to keep hold of the goods until closer to Xmas (it's easier to hide them here, right?), we'll take a 15% non-refundable deposit and the balance when we ship them

Pre-orders are especially important for this year's big sellers, like the Canon EOS 400D, Nikon D80, Olympus mju 725 and Pentax K10D, but you've got nothing to lose and a very happy Xmas to gain by ordering anything early, so don't delay, order today!
