Eventually I gave in and let him use our older point and shoot camera. He would run around the house diving on the floor taking pictures of toys and other things of interest. I was amazed at the shots he took. The composition in many shots was excellent. He now steals the camera during vacations and runs around taking shots of the things he finds most interesting. A wonderful way to gain insight into your kids mind. My son now 6 had a similar request at age 4. Eventually I gave in and let him use our older point and shoot camera.

I know exactly what you mean about him sneaking off; mine does it all of the time and it's always interesting to see what kinds of things he has shot (to include pics of my butt). I'll be getting him a camera for Christmas this year as well. I will look into the Fisher-price one! Thanks for the comment Gina!

We ended up getting him the Fisher-Price digital camera and he's so happy to have it. He passes it around at school and brings home a wonderful pictorial of his day. The pictures aren't great, but they're sufficient for 4x6 prints. We'll upgrade him to a "real" camera in about a year.

Perhaps I should do a follow up with some of her snaps? Lovely post Sara, thanks for this My daughter loves taking photographs and is getting pretty good.
