It is worth investing in a cheap digital camera for your child. Many children these days have cameras in their phones so a camera specially for taking photos could be a bit of a novelty.
They should have a separate camera for taking photographs to teach them about proper photography. It gives them another way to look at the world. Learning about framing subjects and lighting and perspective can be quite interesting for a child.
Your child should be encouraged to use their camera for school projects. They can take photographs of things in their environment to help illustrate the point they are making in their work.
The personal involvement of taking photographs of familiar objects reinforces the learning experience and personalises it to enhance the lesson. Children can relate better to learning if they have personal involvement. A picture of a familiar object taken with the child's own camera has more emotional value than a picture downloaded from the internet.
There are plenty of good beginner cameras available. They are designed for ease of use and create quite good snap shots. There are a few features on the cameras for the beginner to play around with to introduce them to the next level of photography. The cameras are quite sturdy and can withstand regular daily use.
The beginner cameras are a great introduction to photography. They give the inexperienced user the thrill of producing good pictures without having to understand focus, lighting or exposure. The best thing is that the photos are free to download to the computer so your child can take as many shots as they want. It gives them a chance to experiment with many different styles, subjects and ideas.
