I bought this camera for my 6 year old granddaughter's birthday. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a camera that might lose or break it and this one got good reviews so I ordered it. she liked it! She ran all day and took pictures of this thing. I hope it's sturdy enough to withstand a lot of use. A small downside: we were only at her house for about 6 hours that day and she charged the battery 2 or 3 times. However, it's nice that it charges and doesn't use batteries. I think it was a good choice for the money.
