digital camera for an 11 year old?

[krcit]

Can anyone suggest a decent digital camera for my 11 year old dd that costs less than $100? I know nothing about them and wouldn't know where to begin. Thanks in advance

I don't know how into photography your child is, but my sister bought my 4-year-old niece a 5 megapixel camera at Wal Mart for about $70. It isn't the greatest in the world, but suits her purposes. She had a blast with it at Disney World.

Best buy has a Kodak this week for $79 that should work.

Thanks. I think I'll check best Buy and maybe Walmart this week

We just gave our daughter a Kodak EasyShare 5 mega pixel for her 12th birthday. She loves it, it is very easy to use. We got it for $79 at tigerdirect.com. We got a 1 gb memory card for it for $20. at the same time.

I'm glad you posted this. I want to get one for my 11 yr. old, he is always asking if he can use ours. I looked at one of the Kodak ones, but I really don't know much in what I should look for. I'm going to check out the ones mentioned here. Thanks!

DH just bought a Sony camera that included a memory stick for 149.99 plus he had a coupon for 15.00 off...

The memory stick alone is expensive so I think it is a good buy. On sale now at Circuit City.

There is a similar thread on the Budget Board with a lot of camera suggestions.

Don't know the price--hubby got dd the kodak easy share. Enough to suit her "needs" as a 6yo..easy to use. You can eventually get the docking station/printer thing to print pics.
