5 Tips for Buying Your Child a digital camera

Kids love to take pictures and play photographer. Elementary age children can take a camera with them to capture memories from field trips, summers off, family vacations and much more. The pictures they take, though some misguided and not so focused can create tangible memories that you can share for years to come. Unfortunately, that expensive digital camera you tote around isn't exactly the ideal toy for them to play with. Gone are the days when a simple disposable camera was your solution. Kids want cutting edge and that includes the latest in digital photography. Here are some great tips to help you purchase a digital camera for your blossoming photographer.

Keep it Simple: Once upon a time cameras were simple. There were a few buttons, namely those used to set the flash, zoom in, zoom out, or simply take the picture. Now, even "grown ups" have trouble finding out exactly what each button does. Some cameras make it seem impossible to just take a picture. Look for cameras that keep photography simple. Your child won't need seven different ways to take pictures and they could care less if it has a sepia option. Look for something that zooms and flashes and you'll be good to go. Steer clear of to many extras that can confuse and frustrate.

Durability is Important: A digital camera in the hands of a playful and energetic child can suffer trauma in the matter of seconds. The camera can be dropped, left out in the rain, ran over by a bicycle, or encounter a plethora of other misfortunes. When it comes to buying your school aged photography buff a camera durability is a must.

Don't be Mega Pixel Happy: Mega pixels account for the clarity of the picture. Cameras with extremely low mega pixel numbers generally take lower quality pictures than higher quality cameras. However, this doesn't mean you need to buy a camera with highest number available. Cameras with 2 mega pixels will take pictures that look decent in emails and on screen but won't necessarily look great printed out. If your looking for an average camera that will produce printable pictures consider getting one with 3 mega pixels. Anything more is not 1necessary for your little one's photography hobby.

Keep Costs Low: Unless you've envisioned your child as a photography prodigy, keep your costs low. Since you don't need a lot of the fancy features there is no need to invest in a top of the line camera. Your child is also more likely to lose, damage, or get sick of the camera you buy them so it's better if you save the higher priced cameras for presents a few years down the road. Consider the first camera you buy them as a test run. If they take care of it and use it regularly then you can upgrade in a year or so.

Accessories are Important: Think you've got it all once you have the camera in hand? Think again. One of the best ways to make the most out of your purchase is to buy a few accessories. Camera cases, memory stick/cards, screen protectors, cleaners, and scratch removers will definitely come in handy. Accessories like the ones mentioned can add to the life of the camera by offering protection and more space.
