I bought this for my 5 year old as he loves to take pictures. It's so easy to use and far less cumbersome for him than taking pictures with a tablet. It's so easy to use and the picture quality is amazing! I have to admit that I didn't expect this picture quality from a children's camera, but I can only say: WOW! The durability is great! It has fallen and fallen down a playground slide several times and still works perfectly. From the parents' point of view, it is very easy to use. This camera is the best and will be a birthday and Christmas present for my niece, nephew and all the children in my family!
