I bought my son a digital camera for his 4th birthday as he was always using mine and I feared for it's safety! It is a specially designed model with bumpers so it can take some abuse. It's a company called Vtech and the model is called Kidizoom. I just wondered if anyone else had any keen little snappers? He is like me -- likes taking the finer details rather than the bigger picture! Also, does anyone know of any competitions for young photographers?

Yep, a bit older but very keen.

Actually, assuming we have enough younger members, why not start a junior section here on the forum?

Over to the Mods.

Start a Junior Photographer thread and set the age limit that you feel is justified.

I'm sure that photography helps us to see the beauty in everything, helpsus appreciate nature... so we are unlikely to go abusing or destroying it. A good attitude for kids to foster.
