Re: 5 year old photographer

If you are asking me personally, I would not buy a DSLR for a 5-year-old. It's not about getting the hang of it - they could slowly grow into it and hold on to the camera for years to come. I just feel DSLRs are a bit bulky for most 5-year-olds to handle and it could drop from their hands. I would have got her a point and shoot for now and once she's 8 or 10, a DSLR lens kit or a lighter mirrorless set!

But, if you are confident enough that she can handle it, then more power to you both!
