My 9 year old has a Fuji film camera which is great-ish but expensive and often the picture exposure is not correct. I got her one of these to use whenever she wants without worrying about film and she loves it! Great for fun with friends and family. And it comes so the a memory card so you can save great pictures and get rid of bad ones. And you can take the card to have them printed anywhere if you want to make them bigger. Just Bought another for my niece 🙂
