Of course I looked at many options and prices before deciding on this camera. I gave this type of digital camera to my niece a few years ago and she loved it so I wanted a good camera for my daughter. So far she's having a great time with the camera. She's young and so far this camera has held up well to toddlers! It takes pretty decent pictures for a kids camera and is easy to use. The included accessories also convinced us! This is literally a kids pro camera that is absolutely amazing, especially at this price point! I am very glad we found this camera and look forward to many fun memories with it and my daughter!
