I bought it as a first camera for my 5 y.o. grandson, as we were going to an airshow. He ended up taking over 250 pix, of which 205 turned out. The majority of ones that didn't turn out were due to beginners thumb in the pic. I would recommend this camera for its ability to take good pix AND because of the price.
