Some good ones to consider include the Panasonic FH20 which is one of the more well-rounded cameras, the Cannon SD1400 which is one of the most compact in digital cameras and the Fujifilm FinePix Z20fd Point & Shoot which comes in colors teens will appreciate such as hot pink, ice blue, wasabi green and jet black.

The SanDisk Sansa Fuze 4 GB Video MP3 Player comes with a FM radio with 40 preset stations, a built-in microphone with voice recording and in several colors like hot pink, royal blue and red. The Apple iPod Touch fourth Generation, while costlier than the rest, has a 32 GB capacity which can hold around 8,000 songs, 40 hours of video or 40,000 photos.
