By Autumn Lockwood


Is your youngster a fan of taking pictures? Right now you may have photo albums full of pictures of your child that you have taken, but the time has come that they want a turn at taking pictures! Many kids like to fiddle with their parent's digital cameras. Digital photography nurtures your son or daughter's creative talents, and if your child particularly enjoys snapping photographs of friends, family, his feet, the family dog, and other subjects, then perhaps it is time to consider getting him his own digital camera. Thankfully for you there are a number of cameras available that can endure the rough use that your child will give it, and also won't cost an outrageous amount.

Kids all have their very own agendas and some kids take more obviously to the camera than other ones do. Nevertheless, children have a tendency to be captivated by digital cameras, and snapping pictures can be a great deal of fun. You might be surprised when the shots your child ends up with are good enough to fill up those empty photo albums you have been storing away. If you wish to know what is the best camera for your kid based on their age, then take a look at the hints below.

* Little toddler on through the first few grades of elementary school. When children are at this age one of their preferred things to do is turn the camera off and on by themselves. They find the result of their pushing the button fascinating, and they really enjoy looking at the bright display screen. They also love to see themselves in photos and to mimic the behavior of the most important folks in their lives - their parents. When they are this age you are quite likely to end up with mostly pictures of objects like the floor and the ceiling, or else other things the child likes such as a dog or their favorite plaything. When selecting the right camera for this age, the main thing you are looking for is a camera which is well made and strong. Don't be surprised if the digital camera is thrown around like a stuffed toy, because that is basically what it is to the child. The camera ought to be completely automated, including the focus function and the flash, and should have the storage capacity to store a lot of pictures.

* Early elementary school age through the first years of middle school. Kids are a lot more advanced when it comes to technology when they are at this age. Actually, your child when they are this age may know more about cameras than you do. At this age, children are interested in capturing photos of their favorite people, places, and other things, and filling up photo albums that will preserve their memories forever. It is at this age that numerous kids begin to take digital photography seriously, and they might use the photos that they take for scrapbooking design, journals, and much more. Try to find a camera that is durable but not too pricey, as it could get ruined, stolen, or lost someplace. Look for a fashion-forward looking camera that the child would be very pleased to show off, and that has an automatic flash.

* Kids who are older including high school age. When a child is getting as old as high school age, they are pretty much ready to get a camera that is almost as nice as their parent's, but that is at the same time not too expensive. Young adults can still forget things, and sometimes they are not conscientious enough to take care of an especially expensive camera. But there are several very nice cameras out there that take some nice good quality shots but cost under $100. Look for a digital camera for your older teen that has an expandable memory and that looks like something an adult would want.

Taking pictures can be a wonderful creative outlet for your child, and by putting the right digital camera in your child's hands, you encourage that creativity and help your child to excel in life.
