[QUOTE="EddceLLent, post: 493192, member: 27342"] Hey, It's my niece's 11th birthday next week and over the last few months, especially while she was on holiday, she has been taking a lot of photos. They're more than just snapshots as well - she's devoting a lot of time to trying to get the right composition and have the photo turn out how she wants it (even though she's only using an iPhone camera). She's been taking a lot of photos of flowers and other plants...some of them are surprisingly good considering what she's been using. My brother wants to get her some kind of camera for her birthday and has asked me for advice but I'm a bit stuck. I've had a DSLR for a year and a half but think that something like that might be a bit too much for her to learn, also a bit worried at her age it might be a bit too valuable and/or bulky for her to be carrying round (even though my brother says she'd only be using it supervised). Can anyone give any advice about the kind of thing that would be good for her in terms of maybe having some features that you wouldn't get with phone cameras, maybe a bit more control over settings....but at the same time not too costly, still simple to use, portable? I've done a lot of research about DSLRs since I started but don't really know anything about other kinds of cameras..!? Grateful if anyone can help :) Thanks [/QUOTE]
