| I got an "old" (refurbed) Nikon L2 at Sammy's Camera for $50 for the kiddos I live with (5 & 6 years old). I'm not sure about durability, and there are a lot of controls they don't need, but for just pointing and shooting, it'll do the trick. They're very careful with things they know are fragile. |

I'm in the same boat. My son, soon to be 8, is getting an old computer right after xmas and has wanted a camera for years. I want something 'real' as opposed to a mattel camera, but I'm with slippy that it has to be durable (just in case - kids are kids).
If does NOT use CF so much the better - he wont' be tempted to take my cards :P

I think most P&S cameras use SD cards...there may be exceptions though.
SD cards are getting so inexpensive that it's not really a burden to load up on those as well as CF cards. I got a 4GB SD card for $4 at Sammy's. |

My grandson Luke is showing a lot of interest in taking photos these days, probably because I always have my camera out and stuck in his face a lot ! He has been using my Daughters p&s and seems to be able to handle it fine, he also loves to take photos with her camera phone and seems to have a decent eye for photography, he does not rush things and will spend time getting his shot right. I want to encourage him but realise that he is only 4 and did not want to spend a great deal of money. I came up with this - GE A735 Digital Camera -
GE A735
I cant wait until he is let loose with it over Christmas! I will post some of his efforts up here after Christmas.

Heh. Well, one has already emptied a card's worth onto the computer, but the other hasn't let me yet, even after all her clicking. I think there'll be plenty of not-so-flattering shots of your's truly. I'll put some up here eventually. :-D They are both really enjoying them!

Less flattering than the phonebook embarassment? ;) |
