My granddaughter like to take pictures of EVERYTHING, and used to fill up my daughter's phone with up-close, out of frame, not focused photos of half a bug or her eye or something we couldn't identify. Now, she has her own camera and can shoot hundreds of these... things... to her heart's content. Occasionally she gets a good shot. The camera is easy to use, and the big screen on the back that gives her a preview of what she just photographed is nice (so she can try again). The memory card is a standard one, so if she accidentally gets a good shot, my daughter can pull it onto the laptop for safe keeping. It's lightweight, so it's easy for her to carry everywhere. My daughter and granddaughter are happy that she has this camera.
