I bought this for my grandson as his first camera and intro to photography. Growing up I was always one with a camera with me at all times. Because of that, I have about 50 years of photo memories with friends and family. I had talked to him about the fun of capturing a moment that made your smile, or moved you. He loved this thing! It may not take the most crisp photo?�s, but it lives up to today?�s kids need for instant gratification. (Remember the days of having to drop off your film to the local photo place and waiting days to see what you had shot?!) No more of this with this camera. He loves it and I love to see him smile as he uses it and shows me his important moments. Everybody should have one of these just for the fun of it!
