I bought this for my Grandson's 5th birthday and it was an immediate hit!! After he filled it up several times, we inserted a memory card and his Dad set it to high resolution pics. He took pictures of EVERYTHING in sight!! He quickly learned how to center the pictures and learned to discard the bad ones. GREAT GIFT - I would HIGHLY recommend it, but probably not for much younger kids. His 4-year-old cousin and almost 3-year-old brother were not very interesteed.
