Cameras For Kids

When my oldest daughter received a kid's camera as a birthday present from a relative, my wife and I were almost as excited as she was when she unwrapped it. It wasn't long before her excitement filled the camera's non-expandable memory. I then rushed to transfer the photos, a task also made more difficult by the lack of flash memory, and discovered just how poor the quality was of pictures taken with most cameras for kids.

For her next birthday, we chose a camera for her ourselves. Instead of a kid's camera or toy camera, we bought her a good quality camera that was kid friendly. In my next post, I will explain how we ended choosing her camera, a pink Fuji Finepix Z20fd, 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom. I'll also tell you the mistakes we made and how we could have done even better.





The purpose of this blog is to make suggest some alternatives and also to offer tips on helping kids make the most of their new cameras.
