Re: 5 year old photographer

I gave my 2-year-old son an old Canon D20. I think it's perfect for his age. I don't mind him dropping that camera, it's rated to survive falls within his height. He can also dunk it in water or throw in the mud if he wants and it would still work. It's just full of closeup selfies for now, hopefully he'll figure out how to use it properly.

I don't think I'll give him a DSLR of his own even when he turns 5 but I do let him play with mine with me watching. He's just pressing the buttons and not really taking pictures.
