[quote pRICE cUBE][quote The UnDoug]My 5 y.o. daughter is asking for a camera, and I'd like to give her a digital.
I am more in the $30 or less range, though, so I'm looking at e-bay and Craigslist.
I know the camera likely won't be as nice, but I'm afraid she'll break it, and I don't want to be out too much money.
5 year old? When I was 5 I had to walk uphill to school in the snow, I had to make my own camera, then learn how to use it. Kids these days. Yeesh.
You don't have to tell me. One day, my dad came home with a shoe box. I was so happy. SHOES! I had never had shoes. Then the old fart told me it was just the box. He then forced me to make a pinhole camera out of it, and then sold me to the US army, where I was sent overseas to be a combat photographer at age 6. No shoes, 6 years old, and developing sheet film in a dank rat hole.......
