Will this camera allow the children to take self portraits/pictures of themselves?

Physically possible, but would require some pretty advanced motor skills....the child would have to turn the camera around such that the lens aperture was pointed at him/her, and press the shutter release button. Doubtful that a 3 or 4 year old could do that successfully.

No, there is only one camera and it's on the front. Consequently, taking a selfie is easy but taking a photo of anything else is almost impossible.

In order to take a self-portrait, you'll de better to get a tripod. Otherwise, you'll have to hold this tripod upright as youtake your "selfy."

Yes and many other options for taking pictures and editing them. It has a neat drop down menu that allows you to do a lot with your camera. But to use the front facing camera you just tap the camera icon that has arrows beside it and then you will see yourself on the screen. I love it.

Yes! My camera is in use daily as I'm a teacher and take pix all the time. This is a GREAT little camera!

No, this is a point and shoot camera. BUT there is an accessory that you can order that you atach to the lens. It has a mirror so you'll be able to take "selfies" or group pictures with ease.

Maybe? The cord is not very long. I can usually hold it, click to focus and release with a timer for self portraits but it really depends on the lens you have. It's an excellent product though and I highly recommend! You'll probably be very satisfied.

YES! It has that button you can put that allows you to take like 5 continuous pictures at a time...this helps for those little guys that like to move! I use it all the time for that!

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

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!

Yes. Use it for recording while your child writes his or her site words, multiplication tables, etc.

Yes you can, with both the front and back cameras, but the picture quality is not great either way. For kids, it's ok, not so much for what I wanted it for.

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.

It really depends on the setting. The camera allows for a range of options and you should be able to capture your son (or other subjects) in motion with little difficulty. With that said, there may be some point and shoot options that could meet your needs with less expense. This model is just short of a professional grade camera and works well if the user's knowledge of photography is intermediate or better.

This is a great camera but there are so many features I don't know them all yet. I'm almost certain I remember reading that it has a self-timer, but I haven't used that so I don't know if it applies to more than one pic.

Yes, if you press the camera button on the side of the phone while it is shut you can take a photo of yourself.
