DulwichFox Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Hi snowflake ... What sort of price range are you looking at.. ?? Bearing in mind her age and that items like Mobile Phones and perhaps Cameras are likely to get stolen by street robbers.. I would suggest something like Panasonic Lumix DMC-TX4... Great Picture qulity.. Review I use Nikon SLR Cameras but have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TX4 which I carry when I am out and about. There is a great range of prices for Cameras and if the lumix is out of your price range I would suggest going to Currys PC World where the have a vast range of Pocket Cameras which you can see and pick up and get a feel for...

Alec John Moore Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I would go for a point and shoot by Samsung - more pixels for your pound - from ebay. If your daughter gets serious about it then she can upgrade but if she doesn't then it's not such a waste of money. The main thing is to get into taking pictures and seeing them on the screen, editing and manipulating them etc. So, access to a computer with a "user friendly" photo management programme is also important.Looking forward to seeing some of the results of her efforts in due course.Best wishesAlec Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23609-photography-for-children/#findComment-547169 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeccaL Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Also worth trying Computer Exchange places - we got a lovely little Olympus for our daughter for ?25 - originally sold for about ?400. Allows you to get a better camera which is just slightly older, and you can look at them all and decide unlike Ebay. One on Walworth Road, or a couple along Tottenham Court Road around Goodge St station.
