Is it a good camera for a 5 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!

Unfortunately I am unable to answer this question. I purchased it for a Christmas gift so it has not yet been used. I purchased it for an 8 year old. Sorry that this does not really answer your question.

4 and up my 8 year old loves it. I will probably buy him an older camera in 4th grade when he is 10.

No, it does not. But it is a good basic kids camera for the very young ones (say 3 to 5 or 6 year old)

No, I don't believe it can. This camera is great for a kid, but really not good for much else. It is very basic.

My son is 6 and we have not had any problems with it. This is actually his second camera, he had an old one of mine that finally died (it was similar in size). We bought a case separately so that we had some extra safety net. It is not a difficult camera to use. I think it is a pretty good beginner camera and in my mind it is perfect for little hands. I hope this helps.

I bought it for a 4 year old. There is a little pause between the time he pushes the button to take the picture and when the camera actually takes the picture - so he had to learn to hold the camera still a little longer.

Nope.... Its not that impressive...it's ok for a little one but not a serious 5 year old ;)

Yes, definitely! I would have a talk with them before using it that explains what the film is and does and that it's expensive so they should be sure of the photo they want to capture, since it's not like a digital camera and you can take as many pictures as you like : ) Definitely user friendly, a great choice for kids!

I think it would be a bit much for your 5 year old grandson, it has been quite a learning curve for me and challenging. it is also quite fragile. hope this helps.

Tracy, I love my Coolpix L620 because it takes great pictures in low light without requiring the flash. It focuses slowly so I would hesitate to recommend it for an active 2-yr old. Now if you want to take pictures of the child playing quietly in the sandbox or sleeping soundly during naptime, it would be excellent. It is a nice size with a large zoom capability. I carry mine in my purse always. As for others complaining about this camera burning through batteries, I like the fact that it takes normal over the counter batteries (Lithium AA). I have no trouble with battery life at all and get a couple hundred pics out of a set of batteries.

My daughter had it when she was two. She liked trying to take pictures & didn't care if it was of nothing but blur. She plays with it even more since she turned four, and still now that she's turning six. I don't regret getting it for her that early. It's super durable & she has loved it for many years. I'm on here because I want to get one for my son, but was considering blue... My daughter never let's him try to play the games. ;)

This camera was bought for our construction job site. I was only involved in the initial set-up of the camera, have never used it to take pictures. I guess it would depend on the age of the child. It seemed pretty user friendly.

It may be a bit young for a five year old- it doesn't have a ton of features (just a few phrases the jet says) but if the child already likes Wonder Woman, he or she may enjoy this toy--- you can also find more Wonder Woman and female superhero toys at mightygirl.com- that's where I found this. Maybe they'll have some WW stuff for your 5 year old

It's really friendly for an 8 y-o kid, specially if you think how fast are children learning how to use this kind of devices. Camera comes with the charger.

It is good to take pictures of kids playing. If you use video ,you have to consider its battery life (too short)

The camera works well in just about any light. It has many settings and features that help with this. We actually have 2 of them now, the oldest being 2 years old. They both have been trouble free and take great pictures. We did, however, take a photography class to help us learn how to use the options and and get great photos. I hope this helps.
