My daughter is 8 years old and she loved it. It's easy to use, it's purple in color, which she really liked. We received a kit with a bag that was the same color as the camera. Good combo. The pictures are of decent quality, there were no problems with the films. The only thing I don't like about him is the expensive films. It is quite difficult to teach a child who is very excited about a new camera how to save film and only take the shots that are worth saving. Now I understand why I see so many sellers on other sites reselling this camera. Too sad part. Otherwise it is a good gift for 8 years old.
