Is this camera good for an 8 year old boy?

No, you don't give a young child a camera, they will find a way to break it. Unless you are loaded with money and don't mind wasting 90 dollars

It's perfect for kids - it's extremely easy to use!! Just beware not to drop it - despite they say "shockproof" the body is all plastic, except for the lens cover frame which is a metal ring. I won't rely on that. But however this makes it very lightweight.

I guess is a good option. I bought it for my nephew, but she is 2 years old, and for now she starts to play with this kind of things, but for a boy of 8 years I think is good.

Yep it does. I don't have anything good to say about that camera. Prolly good for a 5 ur old.

no, it should be good. I had my 8 and 6 yr old do it and my 4yr old neded help with it. It should not be too easy or boring for 8yr old.

HE WILL ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS CAMERA!!! It does EVERYTHING!! Best camera we've ever bought!!! From close ups, to videos, and it has different colors to choose from, you can take a black & white and pick a color you want brought out in that pic!!! We love it!! I am always honest with my reviews!!! I have nothing to gain but helping you decide on a product!!! If I can use it and my pics come out clear, then he'll LOVE IT!!!! Hope this helped you!!

Honestly, my 4 year old uses it and he probably could have used it when he was 3 with no problems! May actually be too small for an 8 year old.

What if you're trying to take pics of kids who never slow down long enough for the shutter lag to catch up...is this a good camera for it?

I would say it is better suited for the 3 year old. Our 6 year old has played with it but had commented that it is too 'baby-ish' for her. We found a different digital camera for her that worked well. Our 4 year old adores this camera though.

I have a 5 year old and a 2.5 year old. Both love the camera! The 5 year old is able to do a little bit more with it (like make little "movies") and he takes better pictures, but the 2.5 year old loves having something that she can take pictures with! I think that in a few years my 5 year old will likely grow out of wanting to play with it, but since he is my oldest it is hard to say.

Yes! I bought it for my 8 year old son but my 13 year old step-son said he wished he would have got one too.

I think it is a pretty fancy camera, but then again our teenagers seem to figure out technology details a lot quicker than us parents. So, to answer your question, I think it's up to you as to how much you want to spend on a camera and how responsible your 13 year old is. Good luck.

It depends on your child. I wouldn't have purchased this for my other nephew who are typical boys, rough on everything and careless about putting their things away. The camera would last maybe a few weeks with one of them! My 9 year old nephew for whom I purchased the camera is fastidious with his belongings, unusually mature for his age, and clever with gadgets. The only thing he's asked for assistance with is uploading his photos to a computer. He does not require supervision while using the camera. If your son will be comfortable changing the camera settings and will keep the camera in its case and treat it gently, buy it for him. Its a terrific camera. Small but fits little hands. But if he's not that careful, go for something cheaper so you wont feel dreadful if it ends up broken. Hope this helps.

I think it's a very good camera - 8MP, flash, HDR. I think it's like the samsung galaxy 3's camera.

yes an 8 year old can use. My 6 year old granddaughter needed very little assistance.

I think this camera will be great for a 10 year old. It's basic,easy to use. Rechargeable battery with charger. Its fun and so small it really does fit in your pocket.. Of course being so small will the 10 year keep track of it? I love it,alot of fun to use.

Sorry i got it as a gift to my 3 year old nephew! Im sure its fine for a 6-8 year old.

I would say yes. My only complaint is that it doesn't take many pics before you have you dump them onto the computer. I do like the cd that comes with the camera that has some games, some programs that help you decorate or embellish the pics you take. I bought it last year for my 4 yr old and she just loved it. Hope this helps!
