digital photography

There are a lot of cute digital cameras for kids. I had seriously considered getting one for my daughter’s birthday. After looking at several different kids digital cameras and reading some reviews, it seems they all have the same downfall that might be a deal breaker.

My daughter is used to taking photos with our Sony Cybershot point and shoot digital camera. She loves looking at the photos in on the LCD screen, too. The kids digital cameras have tiny LCD screens, so I’m not sure that she will be ‘wowed’ by her own digital camera.

Instead of going the route of a kids digital camera, I think I might look for a durable, regular digital camera. Since it really doesn’t have to be top of the line, I might can find a good deal on a used digital camera. Here’s what I will look for in a digital camera for my three year old:

Large LCD screen
Easy to grip
Big buttons
Easy method for scrolling through pictures
Durable

Those are the big four items that the camera must have. Finding one sturdy enough to handle being dropped numerous times or even immersed in water will be probably the hardest requirement to fullfil.
