I hope someone here knows something about cheap P&S cameras.
I have a five-year-old niece. For our Thanksgiving dinner day, I gave her a Kodak disposable camera to take pictures. Once she stopped taking pictures of her finger, she did well. She actually took a couple of good pictures. So, I've been thinking about giving her a cheap digital P&S for Christmas, but I don't know much about those cameras.
Canon and Nikon seem to have comparable items around $79, but that's the extent of my "shopping."
Does anyone know how durable these things are -- would they hold up well in the hands of a young child? I do know Canon has a problem with zoom lens sticking in some of their low end cameras. That seems to be triggered by foreign objects getting between the lens segments. I know that won't work with a child.
Her mother is computer competent so she could upload for her so she can display.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
