I want to buy a USER-FRIENDLY digital camera for my 10 yr old little brother.

I would like for it to be as easy to use as possible but without losing workmanship/picture quality. Possibly a Canon or a Nikon. Please help, Thanks!!

Hi Julia,

The Canon A460 might be the best choice for you. It's pretty sturdy for a cheap camera, takes great pictures, and is pretty stripped down and basic (but still a pleasure to use). It's also quite cheap, which is a good thing when you're buying a fragile piece of equipment for a child. Speaking of which, you should be aware that digital cameras are very easy to break, and giving one to a young kid is a risky proposition--you might be better off giving him disposables for a few more years. But then again, you know your brother better than I do. :D

Good luck!

Thanks Ben, I'll take that all into consideration.

He has always been obsessed with my Xti so I figured I'd get him his own. I'm not too too worried about price and I think he'll love it anyway :o)

Again, thanks for the reply!
