**This giveaway is now CLOSED**
Guess what? We have another awesome giveaway today! This time it is a Leap Frog Camera. My kids and I were lucky enough to be able to test one out for ourselves. Can I tell you how much my kids LOVED this.
My kids always see me behind the camera and are always asking if they can take a picture with my camera. Well…I let them but hover over them like a hawk making sure they have a good hold on it. It kind of takes the fun out of their picture taking experience.
So, they couldn’t believe it when I handed them their very own camera and told them to go and take some pictures. They had so much fun taking pictures of things that were important to them.
But, one of the best parts for me was looking through their pictures. I got a good laugh at several of their photos. One child stood in front of the mirror and took several self portraits. I loved the insight it gave me into their shorter perspectives and view points. I especially loved seeing what they thought to take a picture of. The only thing I did not like was that the flash seemed a bit too strong. It tended to wash out the subject if the kids held the camera too close to it while indoors. The quality of the photos were fairly good considering the camera has a fixed focus and was being held by a bouncy, excited child!
And well…Today you are going to get the opportunity to win one for your very own. First you need to be a follower. Then just leave a comment and tell us about your favorite photo a child of yours has taken or one of your own favorite photos. That’s it! This giveaway will close on Friday, May 7 at 11:59 pm.
We really liked this Leap Frog camera. It is very durable and sturdy. It fits perfectly in little hands. My kids spent quite a bit of time outside looking for things to take a picture of. They also helped me upload the pictures and were able to do it all by themselves.
Here are a few facts about this camera:
-Digital camera with interactive software – $49.99 SRP
-‘Talking’ Camera focuses kids by saying, ‘Smile for the Camera’, ‘Say Cheese,’ ‘Great Shot’, ‘Bye Bye’, etc…
-Software created by award-winning developer APTE will include extensive creative writing area, ‘book writing’ templates (ie – book about me, things I think are silly, my favorite things), games – concentration, I see (like ‘Eye Spy), visual special relations-type game.
-Children can easily upload their photos and import them into the various sections of the software to become part of the games/stories.
-For ages 4+ – depending on skill and reading ability, some kids will be able to do with little or no help from parents, younger children might see this as a fun activity to do with mom & dad.
Camera mold is unique, 2.1MP and all developed in conjunction with LeapFrog dedicated ‘Domain Experts.’
My daughter (age 3) took a pick of her daddy chasing her. The look on Daddy's face was awesome:)
My kids do the exact same thing – and I hover just like you do. My youngest is going to be 5 on the 15th…would love to win this, but if not may have to run out and buy at least one. It's good to hear comments from someone who has tested.
my son has never taken a picture other than ones of the ground but he loves to pretend!!!
Love to see the world from a three-year-old's level. One memorable photo was of her shoes in the carseat.
Since my oldest is 3, I haven't had him take any pictures yet. I probably should… :)
But my favorite picture is one of my 3 year old holding his baby sister's hand. It is precious!
My girls both like to pretend they are professional photographers, they lie a blanket over the front of the couch and line up their stuffed animals and click away, changing their poses every so often. They love it when I let them use the camera to do it.
I am happy to hand my camera off to my older kids, it is the only way I can prove that *I* was on our family vacations. lol.
This camera would be perfect for my youngest!
Love this! My son and daughter are always trying to take pictures of me. It's the only time I usually get in front of the camera, although the ange isn't exactly flattering!
My favorite pictures of my kids is one I told them to put their arm around eachother and their take was to give eachother a big hug and turn and smile for the camera. They never smile at the same time at the camera! It turned out really cute!
My Favorite photo as of right know it the one of my grandson (2yrs) pushing the lawn mower with his daddy. Its just the backs of them but it is so cute.
My daughter got a hold of my camera in the van once on a long driving trip. My favorite shot was from her view looking forward. It allowed me to see how she sees me– a good portion of the time. I'm glad I have it :)
My favorite photo is one my 4 yr old daughter took of me. I was 39 weeks pregnant and HUGE! But seeing my large tummy from her point of view made it look even larger! She loves to take pictures and I always find a few extras when I download onto the computer that are from her.
My son (6) keeps trying to take self portraits of him and I. They always end up being of his nose or thumb and some of my hair…but they are hysterical and I love every one of them :D
My daughter had a 1% chance of living because she swallowed meconium when I delivered her. We were told she had a 1 percent chance of surviving without brain injury. She will be 3 years old in June and she knows her ABC's verbally and by sight. She knows all her letter sounds, too. She is our miracle child! :)

I've never let my son take a real picture, but he pretends with this fisher-price camera I got at a thrift store for 50 cents. The best part is, he doesn't even look through the right part…he holds the camera so the lens is facing the ceiling and smashes it to his eyes and says "CHEESE!"
[email protected]
I laugh every time I sync my phone to my computer, because my daughter has take pictures of her toes, her toys, her baby brother's ear, the ceiling…She would love her own digital camera!
My little girl would LOVE that camera. She loves to take pictures of her baby sister. My favorite one has her cute little finger in the way of the lens.
I love this, I wrote a blog post early last summer about our setting our middle child off exploring with a camera & how neat it is to see what he observes through the lens. Here it is, including my favorite photo taken by him. :) http://ourfunwithfive.blogspot.com/2009/06/further-fun-in-forest.html
Oh my gosh, my daughter is obsessed with cameras since her cousin got one for Christmas. She would love this! My camera is really expensive, so my daughter hasn't taken any pics! She's only 3.
My daughter took a picture of herself, and I LOVE IT. It is a close-up and just part of her face, eyes and nose were all in it :) Anyways I can't even look at it without laughing everytime I see it.

I have a four year old son who just LOVES to take pictures. It always amazes me to see what he can come up with. The most recent picture he took was of his fish "yamaha" He is a blue betta and my son just loves him. He said to him before taking the picture "say cheese." I laughed over that for days. My son would just love this camera.
It is good to know that it works well.
My dd always poses her stuffed animals and dolls for pics–too cute!
My daughter would LOVE this! One of my favorite pics is my almost two year old sporting her first piggy tails. Thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite photo is one of my daughter when she was 8 months old, taken through a window. Beautiful!
I am always making crafts and posting them either to my etsy shop, or to my craft blog. This requires taking a lot of pictures of finished products.
My 4 year old earned a ceramic painting kit for being really good. She painted them all, and then asked if she could photograph her finished product. She even got up real close and got a nice clear shot. Oh, and in one of them she added a leaf for a little added staging.
It was so fun to watch and then to see the excitement and pride she had.

When my daughter (age 5) gets a hold of a camera, she will take pictures of EVERYTHING. Her feet, her toys, the wall, her brother…anything that passes by. She's actually pretty could at photographing people!
That is pretty awesome. I am pretty new to your blog and I LOVE IT!!!!!!
My baby isn't quite old enough yet,but I have a few pre-school aged siblings that love to use the camera phone and take photos of each other. I would love to win this for them! My favorite is of the christmas decorations all piled around the newest baby brother!
I love to hand my son the camera. I usually end up with pictures of my jeans, or my feet, but he walks around the house chasing me saying "smile mommy" or "say cheese" He is only 3, so this is the cutest thing to hear…..
When at the beach last summer my son took a photo of an elephant seal.
He would love this camera, he like your kids is always asking to take photos with my camera!
I often hover, as you mentioned you do, but have had to let go a little bit recently since my husband has been deployed. If I want there to be any pictures of me to send to him, I have to let my 6-year old do it! She has actually done a pretty good job. She was the photographer for my birthday party that my husband missed out on. She would LOVE to have this camera.
My grandson takes pictures of his mommy which is awesome because she is always behind the camera so we don't get as many pics of her!
I love looking through the pictures on my camera and finding several pictures of my girls posing themselves in front of various pieces of furniture. They practice their smiles, funny faces, and sitting postitions. I also get several pictures of ladybugs, butterflies, and our cherished tomato plants. My 6 and 4 year old girls would love to have their own camera.
I love taking pics of my 5 month old when he's just in his diaper, all yummy, soft, pudgy skin and playing with his toes and grinning and giggling. :)
my 4-year old loves taking pictures of everything and anything. one of my favorites is when we were in the car and she had the camera outside, taking a picture of us going. not only was i impressed but scared (for the camera)!
A couple of years ago I found my old 35mm camera with some leftover film in it. I handed it over to my then 3 1/2 year old and I took pictures of him while he was taking pictures around the neighborhood. It is interesting to compare his developed photos to mine as it tells the entire story of that afternoon.
But the best part was getting the photos back from processing and discovering that there were old baby pictures of that same 3 1/2 year old on that left over film. A pleasant surprise, indeed.
My favorite picture right now is my boy all dressed up in his dressy Easter outfit and bunny ears snuggling with his Daddy! Too cute!
My little one gets ahold of my camera all the time! She takes pictures of my house at her eye level which can be educational and alarming! Last summer she "bathed" my parents camera in their pool. Oops! This kid really needs a camera that can handle her!
I love watching children use cameras!!
My cousin (6) loves taking photographs, so one day I handed him my old digital camera and let him run wild and he loved it! I also loved looking through the photographs and it's true what you say about the different perspectives they catch!!
My kids would love this camera. They are always asking to borrow my cell phone or camera to take pictures. I love it when they take pictures of all their "projects" so they will always remember them.
When my daughter gets a hold of the camera, she often takes pictures of the tv and different angles of her toys, but my favorite picture is one she took of herself in the mirror sitting on the toilet.
My oldest child, in the grass during his very first Easter Egg hunt. He grabbed the first egg he came to & ripped it open. As he ate the messy jellybeans hiddden inside, bean-juice gushed out of his mouth onto his WHITE shirt. He looked sooo happy! It is only now that he is 8 I can really appreciate the spontinaity of the experience!
my kids love to take pictures of them selves. So close you can pretty much see up their nose.
I love Leap Frog!! I think my favorite picture that my kiddos have taken was a series of shots from Las Vegas in the hotel room. There were so many funny faces & plenty of the couches & tables. It was so fun looking back at their pictues.
My two year old LOVES taking pictures. We gave him an old camera of ours that is broken, and he has so much fun. He walks around saying "smile mama!" It would be wonderful to give him a working camera of his own!
My daughter is always sneaking my camera. I have tons of favorites. I guess my favorite that I can think of at this moment is probably one where she got her baby sister to smile for the camera. The baby was very young and just starting to smile. She worked so hard to get that shot. Too cute.
Well I have an 8 month old only, but My favorite picture is of him and my husband, just threw him up in the air and the picture captured his super excited facial expression :)
how cute! gotta love pic's from kids' views :D
My son would love this!!! he keeps asking me for his own camera because he always sees me with mine.
My son LOVES the zoom on our camera. So all of his pictures are REAL close ups!
He really wants a camera for his birthday. I think this would be wonderful for him.
PollyS
I'm a photographer, so my baby girl has grown up watching me behind the camera. She now wants to hold her own camera, so this would be perfect.
I let her try the phone on my camera every now and then, she took some of her cute piggies in the carseat once. I love that phto. :)
WOW
My son loves the camera-
in front of it or behind.
My favorite picture taken by him
is one of our dogs
running at the park.
Although all shaky,
he enjoyed taking it so much.
Thank you for the great giveaway
Aya L.
my 5 year old took the camera (unknown to me) and snaped 50 + pictures of the every game they were playing that afternoon. It was a great insight into their world.
LOVE your blog!!! My son always "steals" my camera and I will find SUCH random pictures…the floor, the toilet, his little brother, me in my undies(hehe)…the BEST part is they are all from this short point of view.
My favorite photos are of my kids jumping on the trampoline. They always have this huge smile on their face, and it's fun to catch photos of them in mid-air.
This would be such a great gift, I don't have any children of my own but I know a little girl who would love to have this in her hands :)
Jeah,
I do not have kids, and I actually do not have a favorite picture I took myself, because I am NO good at taking them. Your kids are MUCH better than me. So I am entering for myself. Maybe my photos will be better with a camera where I cannot experiment to much… I hope so! Your kids pictures where great so there is maybe hope for me as well!
My younger daughters (4 and 1.5) are always sneaking off with our camera… and I always find odd pictures when I download my pictures. My favorite this last download was a picture of the back of my head, as I sat at the computer editing a family newsletter.
woooooooooooooow such a great gift>>>>would love to win and give it to my son
[email protected]
My daughter took a REALLY great photo of her room after her "quiet time". Total chaos to me, bliss to her. She has a really good eye for light, even at 5 years old.
My oldest son loves to say cheese to the camera and likes to take pictures of his little brother, the more fun he had take it was when everybody was dressing for halloween, it looks like a horror tale; lol.
My favourite photograph taken by one of my children was the first time my (then boyfriend, now husband) took my son and I out to the park. My 5 year old son took a gorgeous photograph of Mr Butterflywings and I, one that I still treasure.
I'd love one of these for my 6 year old daughter who has recently expressed an interest in a camera of her own.
My daughter would love to win this! She loves to go to the zoo and pretend to say cheese with the animals. All we have for her though is a fake barbie 110 camera we picked up for free at a garage sale
Thank you,
[email protected]

My son takes pictures of himself making silly pictures. One day he tried to get my 10 month old daughter to make silly faces. Let's just say these pictures are priceless to me. Cari
My kids (6 and 3) love to get ahold of my camera during family get togethers an usually end up taking shots of family members together. I love it, even though they are rarely in focus, but they still manage to get shots of people I wouldn't normally get.
I remember a picture that I took as a child. It was of one of my cousins & I completely cut her head off. Thanks for yhe chance.
my favorite kid pix were taken by my son last year. One day we were on our way home from school and he asked if he could take some pics with my camera. I felt that the car was a safe enough place for him to handle my camera so I said, yes. He took pics of businesses and landmarks throughout our route home. When I got home and looked at what he had taken, it was an amazing little tour of our town from a child's perspective! The series has about 30 pics and I love all of them!
My kids would love this. I also "hover" when they want to use my cameras!
My oldest took a picture of my husband and I on our porch and it really captures our little farm and our life.
Wednesday is just as happy playing with the tripod as she is with the camera. The tripod looks like Click the camera from Diego. She also has a pretend camera that says all the same things and adores it. So this would be wonderful! I have too many favourite photos to even try to pick one I think. But last week we had fun with bingo daubers and the pictures are priceless. :)
I found several pics on my camera phone of my legs. My two year old must have been shooting straight ahead!
My son would love this! On our vacation last summer my son spent an hour trying to take a picture of the cows we drove past.
My daughter took a picture of my youngest son in his car seat. His chubby legs were up in the air, framing out his little face. It is still one of my most favorite pictures of him!
Oh my daughter would love to get this. She likes taking picutres. There was one of my son and I it was one of the few times I have been in a picture.

My daughter took a photo of myself and my husband when I was about 30 weeks pregnant. It is one of my favourite photos of the two of us, and even more special because of the photographer :)
My daughter just takes my camera sometimes and I never know until I look through and find them. She loves to make videos of herself or her brother and sister. They are very funny sometimes.
My kids have an old film camera that they pretend to take pictures of one another with…Love that Leapfrog has come out with this camera! We are huge Leapfrog fans…
My sons take "pictures" with one of my old cameras. It would be great to see a real picture
My middle daughter got a camera for her 4th birthday last year and she was very snap happy taking pics of just about everything. Daddy and I decided after several days of picture taking to check out some of the photos she had taken. We took out the memory card and uploaded the photos to discover a picture of me sitting on the toilet, pants around my ankles. Needless to say, I immediately removed that photo and banned the camera from the bathroom. We did get a good laugh out of it though.
My baby girl turns 4 this August and this would be a great gift to her. Sissy is rather stingy with her camera.
My favorite photo is the one my grandson took of a field of bluebonnets – actually was a great picture!!
My son(at age 5) took the cutest picture of the two of us. It was centered and everything.
My daughter loves to take pictures ….of herself! But it's okay because they are shots from her point of view. A CLOSE-UP of her eyes, her toes, her teeth, her ear, even the inside of her mouth! (I don't even want to think about how that one was taken…!!!)She is my budding photographer!
My son took a close up picture of his face and it's so neat looking.
My 5 year old son loves my camera, if I leave it sitting out I can guarantee that there will loads of random pictures taken. My favorites are the ones he takes of himself. Maybe he is a budding photographer.

My daughter had another brand of the "kid camera" and she was so careful with it and it broke within months. We have been looking for another one. Love pics of all the kids:)
My kids are too young to take photos yet, but I love a picture of my oldest holding her toy camera and winking at me with her free eye. Too cute!
I just looked at the pictures my 4 year old took with our camera last week. My favorite is a close up of his ball pit. The whole view is of the brightly colored balls. It's one of his favorite toys!
My kids would love this! They are always wanting to take pictures with my camera.
My kids would be in heaven with a camera like this! My 3 year old took a picture of herself and it perfectly showed off her chubby chubby cheeks. I LOVE that picture!
One of my kiddos (I've got 5) especially LOVES to take pictures. He's surprisingly good for a 5-year-old. He would be thrilled to have his own camera. How fun would that be. He took a picture of my husband once that is fabulous and is one of my favorite pictures ever.
Thanks!
Blessings,
Shana
My boys love to take my camera and snap pictures of all kinds of things, especially each other and their stuffed animals. I love that this camera has an preview screen for them to see the pictures as they take them (something not all kids' cameras have.)
I love this!
My 4 year old loves to take pictures, but I don't love her using our camera! ;) My favourite pic that she has taken is of me, holding my 1 year old up high,above my head, and we're smiling at each other. It's a lovely, everyday moment that wouldn't be captured otherwise :)
My oldest is 3, so while he really wants to take pictures, I just don't trust him with my camera. This would be perfect. My favorite pic of the kids? With grandma out in Arizona.
I also love to see the viewpoint of my 2 1/2 year olds! My favorite has got to be one of their little sister where I remember them saying "cheese, ema, cheese!" :)
Great giveaway! My daughter snaps pictures of everything but loves inanimate objects like knobs and doors.
My favorite picture ever taken by one of my kids is a picture of our car in the blizzard. All you can see is our liscene plate,that he had uncovered before hand. This turned out to be a good picture to send to my family in Florida!! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
my daughter would love this camera! she totes our tripod around pretending to take pictures with it, because i don't let her use my camera whenever she wants :) my favorite picture of my girls was taken up in the mountains on a summer vacation with them on a porch swing enjoying the sunset without any knowledge of me being there!
I loved seeing what your children captured…it's clear that they enjoyed it.
My babies are still too small (almost 4,2,5mo) to entrust them with *my* dSLR, so I know my 4 & 2YO would love a camera of their very own. What an amazing giveaway!
My favorite picture to date is one of my 2YO *really* laughing at something her 4YO brother did…he's always been able to make her laugh like no one else.
my 2 year old has taken many pictures of the ceiling fan and a few glorious shots up his own nose. he just loves to hear the click of mommy's camera.
My daughter has a favorite lambie that goes everywhere with her. I can't count the number of pictures of lambie that I've found on my camera :)
I love when my kids take pics of me – seeing the world from their perspective
We have wanted one of these cameras for the longest time! My son loves to use my camera and takes pictures of anything and everything! His favorite pictures are posing his stuffed animals and taking snapshots. My favorite pictures he takes are the ones outdoors on a beautiful day…he captures things that I would never even think of. The imagination of a child is amazing!
My kids usually only take pictures of things really close up. So it's like a game, What is this!? They would love a camera of their own.
My boys love to take pictures of bugs and dirt.
Love all your ideas! My three kiddos love cameras. They love to take pictures of me eating (lovely), leaning over (even lovier), and while I'm in the middle of a conversation with my mouth crooked and my eyes half closed. You know, the kind of pictures you DELETE of yourself! For their birthdays this year my two boys have asked for cameras…they may just get it!
My kids always hijack my camera and when I start going through my pictures I find random shots of the dogs butt, or the ceiling, that sort of thing… but there are some rare times when I find some really cute shots they took of their siblings…
At my sister's wedding reception, my niece wanted my camera, so I gave it to her for a bit. The best picture was of my parents, sister, and her husband with their heads cut off. I know it doesn't sound funny, but the picture was the best.
My daughter loves to take our camera and take pictures. She takes anything possible that looks like a camera and pretends to take pictures of mommy and daddy.
I saw a picture yesterday of my 7 yr old niece gently holding her 16 month old cousin (my nephew). They just looked too cute together.

My son loves to take pictures of the TV. One time I had the whole movie Cars in pictures. He told me it was so he wouldn't forget! He cracks me up!
My son has an old film camera body that doesn't work that he plays with. He has really gotten into it and it is fun to see how interested he is in it even at 4 years old! My favorite pics of him, are candid shots doing what he loves naturally.
My daughter always tries to get the camera and take pictures. Of course there are always really horrible ones of me on there that I don't know she has taken but I love the ones of her toys. She even poses them.
My son loves to take pictures of everyday type of things. I love to see his perspective!
Favorite picture? My son's toy robots lined up on the windowsill. His favorite things.
My little guy love to take my camera and take pictures also. It is scarey but you have to let them learn. I am always amazed at the pictures they get with their little eyes.
Oh fun! Well, there isn't anything specific, but my daughter loves to take pictures of her stuffed animals and other little toys. She'll line them all up and take a close up picture of them!

My son is only 2 but LOVES to see the pictures on the "other side" of the camera once they are taken of him. He got some fake camera's for Easter and has been snapping pictures of everyone since.
I am the same way. I am a hovering Mom when it comes to my camera. I gave my old camera to my oldest and she had a blast taking action pictures with her girlfriends. Some turned out quite well.
A favorite photo that my kids have taken were modeling ones tht my 5 year old and 4 year old took without me knowing. THey were hilarious!!

my favorite photo is of my oldest son, we were playing peek a boo in a tunnel at the playground. I popped up and took it in the tunnel while he was at the other end. It looks very "arty" and we were having so much fun.
My favorite, or really the only one I've let him take b/c I don't want him to break my only camera is one that he cut my head off. It was quite funny. adia 79 at hotmail dot com
My niece loves to snatch the camera and take pictures. Just her perspective on everything is hilarious. Some of our funniest family pictures were taken by 6 year old Lexi. Love it!!
My kids all LOVE taking pictures, but most recently I laughed my head off when I found about 100 images of nail polish labels. AHHH!
[email protected]
What a great idea! My four-year-old took some pretty good photos at a baseball game a couple weeks ago. It would be wonderful if I didn't have to hover nervously over her the entire time!
My kids grabbed my camera once & took pictures of each other crossing their eyes. I laugh whenever I see them!
my son is 5 and we gave him an old cell phone to play with that takes pics and i looked through it the other day and it cracket me up. He has a little stuffed puppy and every picture was of the puppy doing something different :) he would looooove this camera.
I love the pictures my son took at age 3. He had the camera upside down and facing him, so he took several self portraits. He would love to have a camera.
On a recent car trip I let our 4 year old hold our point and shoot in the car to look at the pictures we had taken that day. When I got home and down loaded the images there were at least 20 pictures of her face with a variety of expressions from different angles. Some of them were pretty good and many were hilarious! "Oh, the thinks they can think." THANKS for such a great blog.
Oh I love Leap Frog products…they are perfect for kids!
My son takes a picture of himself EVERYDAY. I always love to see what cute picture he takes of himself!
Would love to win this for our 6 year old – he is the designated picture taker for pics of Mom and Dad – and actually does a good job! At least now we have pics with the 2 of us in them and not just one of us with the kids! He would LOVE to be able to use his own camera!

My kids love taking pictures, but I'm also nervous to let them use our nice camera. My favorite picture my 4 year old took was of the rest of us carving our Halloween pumpkin last year.
familysuds(at)gmail(dot)com
one of my favs is one that we asked our oldest child to take (he was 5 at the time). our family had gone hiking and my husband and i wanted a picture of "just the 2 of us." well we got one – but neither of our heads made it in. but i love all the same!
My girls (3 & 5) love to go around the house pretending to take pictures with anything that resembles a camera, a hairbrush, the remote, pretend cell phone etc. We found an old camera at the DI that has a flash that still works for $.25 and it is one of their favorite toys. I do let them use my camera phone sometimes and they love to send pictures to dad when he is out of town for work. They would love this camera. Thanks for the chance to win.
My little one took her first picture at Christmas this year. All of the family was hanging out and there is a picture of my cousin, with half a face, upside down. It always makes me smile knowing she took it!
My favorite photo by one of my kids is of our dog Caleb. We had to put Caleb to sleep on Wed. and I came across the picture when I was looking for pics to blog of him. My little Sara is a camera freak for sure!
I will always love a photo of a pretty little flower token by my husband daughter!!!
She has grown so much, but the photo is a great treasure
My youngest son (6 yrs) has decided he wants to take pictures of EVERYTHING. So I give him my camera and follow him around nervously hoping he doesn't drop it. An easy to use child's camera would be perfect for him. My favorite photo he has taken was one of his brother trying to sneak up on a duck, even if half of his brother was cut out of the shot :)
My favourite photo was one a nurse secretly let me take of my six year old daughter and her new sister who was born three months early and was in intensive care.The baby had little chance of survival and my six year old desperately wanted to meet her little sister.The baby looked up into her big sister's eyes and the photo was snapped. If there ever was a look of love in a photo, that was it. Something special happened that day and my littlest girl survived and came home happy and healthy several weeks later. She just had her first birthday and is walking! The two sisters are best of friends and continue to share the most beautiful smiles together. It's as though the two of them have a special secret known only to them. Every time I see that picture I well up. It certainly reminds me to count my blessings every day.
My son took a picture of the candy dish he broke– a picture of the evidence of his own crime while the parents were out. go figure.
My son has taken one picture. He wasn't supposed to have my camera so he was trying to take one fast. Well, it must have been too fast because he pointed to camera the wrong way and took a very close picture of his face.
He would love one of these cameras. He's even pointed them out on commercials before saying he wanted one. I was even thinking of getting him one for his birthday in July. I guess I still can he we don't win. Thanks so much, I just love the giveawys!!

One of my favorite pictures of my daughter is of my husband holding her little baby feet.

You are so right about hovering around them, I do the same thing.
We can't help it, LOL!
I love taking pictures of the kids when they are in the pool or in the garden they are favorite.
Thanks, Mary

my boys would love this camera…now is the question…could they share it?
My daughter loves to take pic, she would love this.
My youngest son loves to take pictures with my phone. Most of his are self portraits with his tongue out or of his feet. Precious so far. My favorite pic is probably of my girls, they were hugging each other and didn't know anyone had a camera. It is my favorite because they didn't see us snap it and they are so cute all cuddled up together.
I'd say the one that my 11 year old autistic son took with my camera. I like it so much I keep changing back to that photo on Facebook. I don't know when I've looked that great!
Cool giveaway! My kids haven't taken a picture with my camera but my favorite picture of my kids is one with the 3 of them pretending to be a totem pole.
my daughter, 5, was supposed to take a picture of my shoes for a blog post and instead she saw a rabbit on the lawn so you get half my leg, my butt and a hopping rabbit!
I don't have a cheap enough camera for my boys to play with, but I am certain they would love it. My 3 yr old is always pretending to take pictures with his invisible camera. My favorite picture is one of my two little guys sitting together by a tree looking completely happy.
My favorite photo is of my kiddos dressed as superheros!
My oldest was 3.5 and took a very funny picture of my mom & me. We were preparing to smile, but she caught us in a much more natural state having a good laugh. It's a great memory caught on "film".
My daughter (age 2.5) Loves to steal my camera when I'm not looking and startes taking pictures. She takes pictures of our families faces, pictures of other pictures around the house, but my favorite is that she takes pictures of her feet. I guess thats what she sees the most when she looks down.
my children all seem to think that feet are facinating. So I have many pictures of my toes that my children have taken.
my son likes to take step by step photos of his tasks when allowed to use the camera. Last autumn we were making and canning a huge batch of applesauce, and he took step by step pics of coring and slicing, boiling, and grinding the apples.
My older girls have a camera already but my 5 year old feels left out and would love to take pictures too, it would have to be something durable and easy to use, I think this would be the camera for him!
My son's only 2, but he would love this! Every once in a while i find pictures of the ground or his chubby feet on my point and shoot! theyre priceless!
My four year old took a lovely series of shots of her plastic Snow White shoes!
Love the idea of my kids having their own camera to use, worry free! one of my kids dropped my camera and broke it (still not clear which one is responsible!) anyway, i love taking outdoor pictures in the springtime!!
Oh how fun! My 2 year old is definitely into cameras and taking pictures…probably because I follow her around with one!

I love the pictures of my daughter that are SUPER close up–her blue eyes are SO BIG!
My fav is of my 2 yr old being tossed by daddy!

I love looking at the photos my kids snap on my cell phone!

My son, age 4 loves photography, mostly due to his Mommy being a photographer and is always fascinated with the pictures that I take, especially when they are of him. His most favorite pictures are when he's posing and doing silly stuff for the camera. He doesn't get to take many picture with my camera because I'm terrified like you that something will happen. He has a new brother coming in the first of July and I would love for him to win this camera so he can take pictures of him! I've been looking to buy one for him or his big brother gift!! Such a great give away!
Thank you for this giveaway.
I will never forget when my oldest (7) got his camera just prior to our family vacation to Rocky Mountain National Park. An animal lover, he had the time of his life capturing elk, deer, a coyote, and even three bears on film. It was so fun to see his excitement. He has three younger siblings who would LOVE a camera of their own.

I let my one year old take pictures and always love it when I get pictures of her little bare feet.
I love letting my kids take pictures, but the whole time I am soooo worried. We have had one dropped and the screen cracked. My favorite is the close up of the legos!
My son hasn't ever taken a picture but would LOVE to I bet!
My favorite picture I've taken lately is a picture of my children's feet together!
My favorite picture was the one my son took of all the adults feet as we sat around the living room gabbing. My five year old would love this and his Birthday is soon!
My son would love this, since he is always pretending to take pictures with a toy camera!
One of my favorite photos is of my daughter and her daddy walking through the fallen leaves holding hands. It is framed and hanging in my house right now! My daughter would love to have this camera – then we could take pictures together!
I love the pics my girls take! But my favorites of my girls are the ones where they are peacefully sleeping!
Whenever I let my kids take pictures, they always take pictures of our dog. One was really good, a great close up, right up his nose. :)
My favorite picture my daughter took was when I had my camera set on a timer and tripod. I would have her push the button and run to me – it was a great game to her, and I got some great pictures of the two of us goofing around.
my 2 year old and my sweet kitty together is one of my favorite pics
This makes me laugh because just the other day my soon-to-be-5-year old ran around the house taking pictures with my cell phone. Most of them were of the floor or her thumb, but my favorite was a self portrait of nothing more than her nostril!
I love the pictures my kids take that have ME in them. I am always behind the camera, so we have years and years of photo books without any shots of me. Now that they can take pictures I actually exist!!!
When my son was about 1 1/2 he took a picture of my husband and I playing around. You can't see our heads, but I think it's such a cute picture. He would love this camera!

My kids love to take pics with the camera on my iphone. I love scrolling through them, their feet, each other's ears, and the occasional other one sleeping…it's always a surprise what I will find!
Last summer I had my kids go on a picture scavenger hunt. I loved looking through their pictures when they were done. My favorite was on a pinecone on the road. They shot it looking down on it. The placement of the cone was perfect. I seriously considered using it on our christmas cards. :)
My 6 year old daughter took pictures of our baby without me knowing. I actually thought the pictures were great when I found them – it was a totally different perspective. Love them!
My little girl, 4 in 2wks, loves taking pictures. It would be great if she had her own camera! My favorite picture is one she took without me knowing. It's a self portrait- of her eyes.
My little girl, 4 in 2wks, loves taking pictures. It would be great if she had her own camera! My favorite picture is one she took without me knowing. It's a self portrait- of her eyes.
My 4 year old took a picture of me coloring on the floor with her sister. Love that snapshot of our everyday life. Thanks for the chance to win!
I typically don't hand over the camera to our kiddos but this past Easter our 4 year old thought it would be fun to be the photographer for a few shots. I LOVE the pictures he took. It was so fun seeing things from the eyes of a child. His brothers and sister were more cooperative for him then me! :)
I have a picture of my daughter doing my moms hair shortly before she died. She had put many many ponytails in her hair and was using her toy hair dryer to style it. Even years later I smile when I see the photo she took of her creation.
My favorite picture is one where my child is soaked from head to foot, but still grinning away.
My daughter has been taking photos with our iPhones since she was two. I routinely find photos of myself sleeping on my phone. What a nice surprise…. ;) She has recently become fascinated by our digital cameras and I would love to be able to let her run wild with a camera of her own.
My kids snag my old digital camera from time to time and take some of the most random pictures! We have had the "self-portrait mirror" pictures, pictures of cartoons on tv, pictures of feet and hands, etc. I think however the greatest picture ever taken by on of my children though was when my daughter took a picture of me holding her younger brother as an infant. I am seldom in front of the camera so it was a nice change AND, her being only 3 at the time, I was really amazed at how well the picture turned out.
my favorite was of my daughter when she was 3 months old wrapped in a towel after a bath. Her dad is holding her and she has the hood over her head. She is now about to turn four and would love this camera!
I agree my kids don't enjoy me hovering with my camera in their hands either. My favorite's are the candid pictures they get showing real emotion for the situation. Hard to get with a hovering mom.
My 6 year old took a picture, when she was 3, of her stuffed puppy relaxing on the couch listening to my ipod. Thanks for the chance to win :)
My kids love to take pictures with their "toy cameras" they always ask us to "say cheese" or "puppies" …love it!
My oldest son (then 4-years-old) took a picture of me while we were playing under the shade of a tree one hot summer. I was so impressed at how well he did that I use it as my google profile pic!
My 5 year old son loves taking pictures. My favorite isn't a picture though. He found the camera and tried to take a picture of his stuffed animal, but the camera was set on video. He finally turns it around and it's filming his very confused face as he tries to determine why it's not working. It's actually a series of 5 videos and it's just hilarious! I hope we win – he would love his own camera!
Felix likes to take self portraits. I love finding pictures of just his double chin on my camera! He's not so good at actually getting his face in the picture. :D
One of my favorite picture I've taken is of my three boys sleeping in a chair together. I love to take pictures of my kids sleeping, especially when they're all snuggled up together.
My 4 year old son loves talking pictures but does not get many opportunities since I am protective of my camera. He would LOVE to have one of his own!
My oldest daughter(age 5) took a pic of me with my youngest daughter(age 2) not the best angle but priceless I dont many pics of me with the girls I'm always the one behind the camera would love to have more with them snapping the pics.
My son loves to take pictures and my favorite ones are the ones he take of his baby sister. To me it shows me he really loves her!
my kids LOVE, LOVE, LOVE taking pictures, they are 5 and 2. i did get them a digital camera for kids, but it lasted only a few months, they were so sad!
one of my favorite pictues is one my 2 year old took of our parrot. the bird is looking right at him, and if it was possible, i think he was smiling :)
My daughter loves to pretend to take pictures. She would love this.
While one of our children was in the hospital and my Mom and Aunt were visiting, my oldest son remembered to have a photo shoot with all of them knowing that I was at the hospital and wouldn't get around to taking pictures before my Mom and Aunt left us. He's caught on…pictures are important.
Just yesterday my 4 yr old daughter used a camera phone to take a picture of her dinner I made her because it was a tortilla with edamame eyeballs & nose & a smiley face cheese puff. She liked the plating. She would LOVE her own camera!
My son would love this. He is always asking to use our camera and it makes me so nervous to let him. My favorite picture right now is one that we took at Disneyland. On the first day we were there we bought my son some Mickey ears with his name on it. He wore them no stop for the next three days. It is so cute to see them on him in every picture and the excitement in his eyes.
I love my kids pictures. It's great to capture their perspective on the world!
All my kids love taking photos – even the 2 yr old! One of the best was when the 6 yr old took my camera without permission, hid under my bed and took self portraits. One was so good I put it on the xmas card last year! It was a great relaxed smile and a nice dark background.
My nephew loves to take photos of his grandma (my mom), and although she hates being the subject of photography, she lets him take hundreds. I know that the rest of us will cherish those photos in the years to come as we could never get her to pose for us!
My favorite picture is one I took of hubs AFTER the kids put makeup on him and clips/bows in his hair!
Like you and others have posted I hover big time because it is my phone she is using to take photos … but her favorite subject is her baby brother and he sure does smile for her…
My son likes to take pictures of everything! I especially like the close ups of our dog! So cute! My children would love to win this!
My kids pictures capture a lot of the ordinary that I don't think to take pictures of. I have some pictures of me making dinner and helping another child with homework.
My son (4 years old at the time) wanted to take a picture of Mommy and Daddy, so I obliged. The picture was great…..despite the fact that my husbands head was cut off as well as the entire right side of my body. My son was so proud of himself, and we still have the picture!

My 4yr son would love that. Thnx!

I love to get on the floor with my seven month old, crank up the shutter speed and catch the movement of him learning to crawl.
My daughter's photos are the only ones proving I exist! :) Would love to win this for my kids!
One of my faves is my daughter holding hands with my husband and looking up so sweetly at him. I would love to hget this and see the world from her point of view! Thank you!
My baby can't take pictues yet but boy does he know how to smile when I pull my camera out! My favorite picture is the first family picture my husband and I have with our little guy just after he was born!
My 8 year old daughter set up a photo session with our dog Kallie. She got a blanket, small tree, and another stuffed animal and tried endlessly to get Kallie to pose in her little set! Priceless!
How fun! My daughter also loves taking pictures. She has a little pretend princess camera that she mostly uses. She walks around and says, "say cheese" while she takes a picture of you with her pretend camera. It would be so fun for her to have a real one of her own. :)
My five yr old likes to take pictures of his twin sisters when they are smiling:)
[email protected]
my daughter would love this.. she is always so interested in our camera and it would be nice to have one that she can use that we don't have to worry about.
We love to take pictures of her and the dog, and she loves to look at them after we take them.
Since I work, I cannot be at all of the school events that my daughter would like me to be. As a trade off, we let her bring one of our old digital cameras to document her day. I always love seeing the things that she liked the most as well as the funny pictures she takes with her friends.
My two little ones love to take photos of everything. My oldest, 3 years old, actually takes pretty good shots. She took one of her Daddy when he was in his pajamas on the couch and his hair was crazy. She would love a camera of her own and I won't have a heart attack everytime she picks up my Canon Rebel which is about the same size and her head. = )
My favorite picture that my daughter took I actually printed out and have it hanging on the frig is of our dog. Our dog was laying on her back with paws in the air and tongue hanging out the side. Its such a funny picture :)
My little boy (3) LOVES taking pictures. I am pregnant and he wanted to take a picture of my belly! It actually was centered and a really cute picture! He would love that camera! (Then I wouldn't stress about him holding our nice one!)
Hi There! The little Girl I nanny got a GREAT pic of a hummingbird! She would Absolutely LOVE a camera of her own!! Thanks for the great Give Away!
My son would love this camera. My favorite photos is of my three kiddies taken in Savannah. It turned out to be the best photo of all three. Doesn't it always turn out that way that the impromptu pictures are the best?
My daughter almost 3 loves to take pictures with my camera. She loves to take pictures of her baby brother, her dad, and I. I love when I capture her smile which is an example of her personality.
Laci
my fav pic so far is my daughter's first pics after she was born

I let my 6 yr old son use the camera on my cell phone to take pictures and he has so much fun. One of my favorite pictures he took is of our English mastiff watching TV. Another favorite is of me feeding his baby sister. Sweet moments :)
I have 3 children who love to take pictures almost as much as I do. I have an adorable picture that my 5 year old took of my husband as he walked in the door one day. The look on my husband's face says "Does your mom know you are using her fancy, beloved, expensive camera??" It's one of those priceless photos. I allow my kids to occasionally use my Nikon but I too hover over them like a hawk…except for this one time as the photo suggests anyway. :P
My girls, 5 & 3, would love this!!
My kids always try and take pictures with my phone. They end up looking up noses or at the ground.
The best pictures I have ever taken were at the Atlanta Aquarium. There is amazing lighting in that place!!
Although I would love for my own daughter to have this, I think I'd pass this on to my nephew! He's a little older than her and shows a real interest in taking pictures. I swear, one of the BEST pictures of me is one that he took! I too, love to see what he sees through the pictures he takes :)
I have a 4 year old who loves to use the camera and can actually center a subject very well. Obviously we don't feel comfortable with her holding our $200 camera. If she had a kid friendly camera, I think she would cultivate photography as a hobby.

My son took pictures of a tv show he was watching. Just so he could remember it later. Silly kids.

That sounds like a GREAT camera! My kids would love it. My daughter keep asking for a camera and this sounds like a fun one to have and not stress over.
One of our favorite photos is of my daughter while we were potty training her. She was sitting on the toilet, in this cute little sundress, licking a vanilla ice cream cone. The only way I could get her to sit. The picture is just precious.
My son LOVES to take pictures, but I am the same way as you. This is nice to know how you and your kids loved it so I know it is worth getting. Thanks!!
My son (age 15 months) got a hold of my camera and took pictures of his feet. I am sure he didn't mean to do it, but they are my favorite pics ever!
Laura Wilkinson: my kids are always sneaking trying to get my expensive camera. It would be nice to let them have one of their own to take pictures where ever and when ever they like [email protected]
At Christmas my 3 year old daughter took the funniest close up of my dad making a silly face! She is good at taking photos while I am not looking so I always find funny photos of her brother or the cat later on! She would just love her own camer and her birthday is coming up soon!
When my oldest daughter took a WONDERFUL picture of my youngest!!
my daughter went on a kick where her entire little photo book was filled with butt pictures :) grandma, grandpa, a horse the doge….you name it.
My 5 year old budding photographer took a picture of my husband and I hugging at the beach. He did such a fantastic job that it is displayed as an 8X10 in our family room. After he took the photo he dropped the camera in the sand… that was a year ago and the fun memory of our trip comes back to mind everytime we take a picture and another grain of sand falls out of our camera. We would LOVE this kid camera!
THis is great my daughter loves to take pictures of her feet! [email protected]
I caught my 4 year old son teaching my 1 month old all about spiderman.
My kids love to take pictures of each other. They're always hilarious! "Make a silly face!" and they DO :)
Oh, Amy – Please pick us! This is what Gracie wants for her birthday in a few weeks! It would be such a blessing.
Our favorite photo taken by a child? When we were kids, my siblings and I (it was probably MY idea, if I'm honest) took a picture of my dad while he was on the throne (where he ponders life and its mysteries). Only it was in the pre-digital days so there was no way to erase it. When we later developed it, we all laughed until we cried at the surprised/shocked look on his face. SO FUNNY! Interesting how it seemed to disappear into thin air ;0)
Now I just hope my kids never do that to me . . .
My fav picture is one my husband took of our daughter when she was about 3 months old. It is pricless
My son Brigham (only 2!) got a hold of my camera and took the cutest (only slightly cut off) picture of his baby brother, Oliver (9 months) it was a close up on ollie's level–briggy must have been laying on his belly to take it–anyway, its adorable. My Brigham is a budding photographer!

I have a picture on me cell phone that my son took of his own feet wearing my high heel shoes!
My kids would LOVE it!! One funny photo my child took was of the tv when Lady and the Tramp was on!
girlygirlsboutique(at)gmail(dot)com
My kids took pictures when they traveled with my parents – it was always a different perspective of the journey! I don't have a lot of pictures of my mom, who died when she was 51, and many of the ones I have came from my children's cameras. Precious memories.
My son is 5- most of our pictures are of the super heros he creates in his head, you know that tree over there that is really the alien who comes to our planet, etc.
My son is only 2 1/2 so he hasn't taken pictures of anything but his little fingers over the camera lens! :D
My boys love to take pictures of each other acting silly. One of my favorite pictures is of my husband and my boys fishing!
My favorite pics of my 1st daughter is one I capture on Christmas morning a few years ago, she's holding onto her stuffed dog (it's huge), the tree is behind her all lit up and she's just peeking over her dog, so sweet. And my fav of my 2nd daughter is at the beach, it's a close up of her face, she's been eating sand and I made it black and white with just her big blue eyes colored…love it! My girls would have a ball with this camera!
This is such a fun giveaway. I have 4 kids and they would love this. One of my favorite pictures is of my son. We caught a pic when he was about 18 months and bending down to smell some flowers. So cute!
My 4 year old always wants to take pictures with our camera. He would love his own camera. And it's green, his favorite color!
I took a photo of my then 7- month daughter in an old wagon at a barn sale. It was spur of the moment but she happened to be in a red dress, and the wagon was painted green. It turned out perfect for Christmas!! It seems like it always happens that way. The spur of the moment often works better than a planned event!!
My (then) 4 year old got a hold of my camera in the morning before I was up. He took a series of photos of my younger son and the dog playing. Love the strange angles and point of view.
We just got back from Disneyland and I have LOVED all of the photos my 4 year old took with his disposable camera. He has a close-up of his little brother feeding his little sister some popcorn and it is PRICELESS! He would absolutely go NUTS if he had is very own camera!
My son took a picture of my husband, me and his little brother and it actually turned out really well :)! little brother looks better at the camera for his big brother than his mommy!
my dd loves to take pictures too. like you I worry about her using my camera. one of my favorite pictures I've took of her, was years ago, with her bouncing on the bed. with me setting in the floor looking up at [email protected]
Best pic…christmas morning, pajamas, chocolate faces, crazy hair!!! [email protected]
My fave pic is of my son when he was about 1. He found a mud puddle in the yard and before I could stop him he plopped right down in the middle of it. I gave in to the messiness and let him go to town. He L.O.V.E.D. it. His filthy bliss was priceless.
well my daughter decided it would be a good idea to take a picture of mommy while cleaning the house. so the picture was me running around in a baggy shirt and stained sweats. with my hair all messed up…dancing around singing lady gaga haha. priceless.
my son took a picture of me while i was just getting out of the shower and scared me so bad the picture came out of my face and it still makes me laugh really hard when i look at it
Very cool…My favortie photo that my daughter, age 12, has taken is ANY OF THEM! I just love that she loves photo's as much as I do! She took photos this year of ALL Of her girlie friends @ school and made her own scrapbook…I LOVE THAT!
My boys love to look at each picture taken especially when it is of themselves.
If they had their own camera . . wow!
My oldest daughter (when she was 4)took a photo of her sister and because of the angle it was taken, it sorta points to the sky. It looks very professional. To this day, it's one of my favorite pictures of my youngest daughter and even more so, cause my other daughter took it.
Gotta love LeapFrog, for all of their great inventions!
I'm definitely going to win, cause my word verification says "luckethy". LOL
How cute, we love leap frog!
My boys would love this! They love taking pictures. My 2 yr. old does actually pretty well.
My son loves to take pictures, we actually have a file on our computer for pictures he has taken on his own. My favorites have to be when he took several photos of his dump truck while he was laying next to it playing. They turned out so funny. He would be so excited to have a camera to call his own!!
My kids love taking pictures. I have been meaning to get them their own camera.
I let my 4-year-old nephew take some pictures last night with my camera. We were trying to get some pictures for Mother's Day. And he snapped one of ME that I actually quite like! I'd love to have this when my own kids get old enough. Thanks for the giveaway!
My daughter took a picture of me getting a haricut once. It was not a great picture but funny!
I love to find "surprise" pictures on my phone taken by my 3 year old. They always make me smile!
I am a camera hover-er too! My son (5) would love this! He loves to take pictures of things that he's built. (playdough people, lego towers, forts, etc…) Then he gets to show them to daddy when he gets home from work.
The last kids camera was so cheap. the pictures were terrible. I am glad that this camera passes your approval.
Our favorite pic is of daddy sleeping.
My niece took photos at our wedding when she was 2½ using the disposable cameras that were laying aroudn on the tables. Although they were from a very low angle, she did a fantastic job. There's a lovely pic of me and DH dancing and smiling at her.
I love it when I am downloading pictures and I find a few gems that the kids have snaped, mostly right and hip level or up close of a nose or two but the best is two sets of feet, I think they were enjoying the view finder and I got 10 pictures of looking down at their feet! I think they need a camera of their own!
My daughters (6 & 7) love to take pictures of each other posing with our dog. It is so cute, especially because Ozzie is dressed up in one of their dress-ups.
I never enter giveaways because I just don't think I'll win but my nephew would love this. He takes my broken camera all the time and takes pictures. Even if I don't win, I know what I will be getting him for Christmas!
My son took the best photo ever of his brand new baby sister. We have it framed in the hall.
I have a photo I took of my 3 girls in vintage style attire. It is so sweet and I love looking at it. Thanks for the giveaway.
Just 2 days ago, my son used my camera (with me hovering!) and took a pretty great pic of the pitcher at the baseball game we were at! We are leaving for vacation soon and this would be so great to have for the kiddos!!
My 4 year old loves to take pictures of her sister and gets so excited to see them after she's taken them. I love that!
My kids are the same, they want to take pictures just like mom does. The times I have let them try they know I am following behind, and try and get away. The pictures they take are so interesting because of the different viewpoint. My favorite photo is a stuffed bear in the high chair.
I can't think of a specific photo but my sister can always spot a picture taken by my son because it's always straight up our noses
I love it when I go to take pictures off of my camera and I find random pictures that the kids have taken. My favorite discovery was when I found about 20 pictures of just my sons feet. Apparently he needs some more practice…
My daughter took a really cute picture of me and my husband. She also took a really cute self portrait.
My kids (4 & 7) are always asking to take their own pictures…this is a fabulous product and I'm pretty sure I'm the one to win! *wink* My daughter took a fabulous picture of her doll in bed. it's one of her "favorite" pics…I love it too since it's her own perspective.
My 7year old loves to take pictures while she twils around dancing. They come out blurry but she loves them and it makes her happy thus Mom is happy!
My whole family LOVE to take pictures. My 5 year old grand daughter would have such fun with this. My four adorable grandchildren are my favorite photo subjects. They crack me up.
When I was going to college I made a photo scavenger hunt for my child. The coolest picture was of a fence… but you could see the house through it. Its amazing to see the world through their eyes!

my five year old would love this. he once took our digital camera and snapped several pics in his room of things he liked, including his sleepy brother. we didn't find out about this secret photo shoot until weeks after when uploading pics we had taken. it gave us a great laugh!
I would love to see what pictures my daughter would take!
My six-year old loves to take pictures of his trains and his younger brother.
My oldest is 3, so she hasn't taken any yet, but this would be a great way for her to be able to!
I've been playing with my new DSLR lately, and I think my favorite pic is of my 10-month-old and his first wagon ride.

My little girl would love this! What a cool giveaway. Thanks for doing this.
I am a blog follower!
The other day I was looking st the pictures on my camera card and found a whole bunch of self portraits my 19 & 3 yr old took together! Melted my heart!!!
my 4 year old would love this. She took one of my favorite pictures of my husband and me-we don't get very many of the two of us.
I love when I get good pictures of kids hugging each other. Those are the best keepsakes to me!
My four and a half year old daughter asked today if she could take our camera and take a picture of the neighbor's dog so she could show it to her friend. I thought it was so cute!
My little guy is only 1, but I think he would love to get his hands on one of those! He is obsessed with mine, and it would be awesome to let him go wild! I hope I win!
My son took a picture of my husband and I walking down a wooded path…it is a great picture and he was about 8 when he took it. I cherish it.
My daughter (8) got a camera for christmas this year. Its so fun to see the world from her view. She has taken so many fun, and so many hilarious pictures! I would love to win this for my 6 year old.
My daughter would LOVE this! Thanks for the chance to win :)

My favorite photo is of my daughter smelling a giant pink/yellow tulip. It was almost as big as her face and it was just so sweet.
I love this giveaway! I was just thinking about getting something like that for my little guy (age 2), but wasn't sure I wanted to spend that much money. I love the pictures he takes of us, usually some limb is cut off. In fact I blogged about it once, too funny.
My favorite picture my son has taken recently he turned the camera around and got a great picture of him and I! Loved it! He would be so delighted to have his own camera!
My daughter loves taking pictures. It's awesome to see life from her level…unless it's a up shot photo of me and my double chin! {did I just say that!} Yeah…no more pictures of mommy!
One of my absolute favourite pic is when my then 3 yo son was sitting on the couch with his 2yo sister, pretending to read her a story. They were so in the moment, I just love it!
My daughter likes to pretend to take pics, but I'm not brave enough to hand over MY camera! We'd love to win this!

Great giveaway! I don't let my daughter near my camera so I know she would love this. My favorite pic right now is the one we had taken professionally at a local park about a month ago.
This would be PERFECT for my two kids (5 & 3 1/2). My little girl loves to take pictures but I wince every time she wants to use my camera.

I love when my 4 yr old takes photos of me. My favourite is a blurred one of me looking through a tire swing at him. It's terrible out of focus but he used mommy's big fancy camera so I was quite proud that he was even able to snap the shot.
My little guy LOVES taking picures, He uses my D50 (i know bad mom) everynow and then, w/my supervisions of course, but i would love for him to have his own! (so i don't have to stress about mine!
I like every single picture my girls have taken — the perspectives, the weird angles, the views of me from behind (gasp!). Love them all.
My three year old loves to get ahol of my camera on my cell phone. We get pictures of all her dolls…
my 5 year old took a picture of her 3 year old sister playing dolls and she just had a content sweet look on her face. my daughters would love this, they are always trying to use my camera!
My daughter just turned 3 so she hasn't used the camera so far. BUT, I just took some pics of my 9 month old eating yogurt today that were kinda icky and totally HILARIOUS.
my favorite picture that is from when my sisters were little is a pic of my baby sister helping my dad in his woodshop. She had on safety goggles and earmuffs and was carrying a couple of small pieces of wood. And she was all of 2 years old. So stinkin cute!
I can never find my camera because my daughter is always off taking pictures with it. My favourite picture is one she took of her little brother when he was a baby sitting in the corner of the couch. Her brother is the subject of the most of her photos. Her second favourite subject is her feet. ;)
super cute – it would be a hit at our house!
My little sister gets dressed up and goofs off with the camera. She pretends to act out parts of movies and it is so fun to see her so invested in it.
my son is 5 with autism, and he doesn't like to draw on paper, so he draws on his magna-doodle and takes pictures of the drawings with my digital, and I hold the strap
I've never let my kids have a real camera, but they do have several of my old broken ones or toy ones and they love to pretend…this would be awesome!
My eldest daughter took a camera to the grocery store once. It was interesting to see all the kids-level goodies she captured from aisle to aisle. Awesome giveaway.
I'm a follower! The pictures my son take that I love are self portraits! One is funnier then the other! He always ends with a big foggy nose! My daughter love to take photos os her feet, to see how big she is!! The best picture I took was the moment my son introduces himself to his 2 days old sister! It's sooooo cute! Have my fingers crossed!
My favorite pictures that one of my kids took are the ones of himself. He has so many expressions…some are serious but most are silly. They crack me up!
We've seen MANY interesting photos on our camera phones from when our kids (8 & 6) have stolen the phone over the years but the most memorable would probably be the one of their dad going to the bathroom with a look of surprise on his face! lol
I find close ups of my son's eye or face all the time on my camera. He loves to take pictures but has not learned to hold it back.
One of my favorite photos is of my daughter getting into the tomatoes in our fruit basket! It was too cute!
My youngest daughter took a picture of big sister blowing bubbles. It turned out so great I had it blown up and framed it on our family wall! I would love to win, I too hover over my children when they want to take pictures with my beloved camera.

My daughter always takes pictures of her brothers.
BTW – Does having you on my Google reader make me a follower?
My favorite picture– we went to the temple the other day. our little (2 yr old) Kevin was super excited to see it in 'Real!' as he says. As we were leaving he wanted to snap a picture. I handed him the camera, and he took one. When we were headed down the road I looked, it is the PRETTIEST picture of the Chicago Temple. It is perfectly centered and I couldn't of done better myself. my husband and I got a good laugh!
this would be SOOOOOOO perfect for my 8-year-old grandson. his mama gave him a disposable camera about 4 years ago and another on the day his baby brother was born. he shot so many great pictures, i think. the film has never been developed. he has an incredible eye for just being 8 and this is such a fantastic thing! hurray for leap frog….such creative geniuses!
One of my favorite pictures is of my husband on the grass tickling our then little 18 month old daughter. :)
My five year old loves to use our pocket camera. My favorite one of his is a close up of some books that looks really artistic. It was a sign to me that he really does pay attention when I think he isn't (I am a hobby photographer). I would love to be able to give him a camera of his own. This would be great!

I had no idea that Leap Frog made kid cameras! My kids would fight over it! ☺
I love the many pictures that my son has taken of his face. They are extreme close-ups; usually of an eye or nose. Sometimes we even get the whole face. He is 4 and getting really good at taking pictures.

I love seeing the world from my kids' perspective! My fav pics are the ones that remind me of what they see- their view from the backseat, their view out the window or up into the closet. The ones they sneak of daddy napping are great too!!
Favorite photo is my husband walking on the beach with my 2 daughters, all holding hands
I have seen lots of kids use this camera and you're right, it is great! I don't have kids, but I know my niece would love it! She is a great girl and loves to take pictures!
My Daughter would LOVE this camera. She loves taking pictures of everything.

my 2 year old has pretty good skills with my cell phone camera. she got a great picture of my pregnant belly (though my head was chopped off) because she wanted to take a picture of her 'siser'.
****My kids haven't taken many real pictures. They DO however pretend to take my picture all the time! They have even "made" cameras out of food!!!**** :)
I havent let me children take pictures with my camera yet. But my favorite of them is of them walking on a bridge. So sweet and simple.
I actually really like all the pictures that my 5-year-old takes. Her perspective is completely different and she always notices things (and takes photos of things) that I don't necessarily "see." Favorite pics that I take are the ones with happy kids, of course! :)
I am a hover-mother as well! My 5 year old has been begging for her own camera and this one just might be it!
My daughter took a picture of a great big, fluffy cloud that looked like a pig with wings! We ended up blowing it up & printing it for reflections! It was great!!

My kids are always taking my camera, but have absolutely no idea what to do with it, so I always get shots of nostrils and toes and the ceiling fan. But I love that they love it.

Awesome giveaway!! I gave my little one a disposable camera and ended up with lots of cute pictures of her feet :) Thanks for the chance!!
My son is autistic, and when he get a hold of my camera, I always have a good laugh looking at what he was doing. He loves lining up all of our Littlest Pet Shops and then proceeds to take pictures of all of them. He also LOVES his slinky and often will have a bunch of pictures of that, too!! This would be a great item for him!!
I have so many great pics of my kids (I don't trust them with my camera yet). I think my favorite is one I took of my twins at the beach last summer.
My fav picture that my daughter took was when she was 3. She took a picture of a pile of sheets and towels that were on the floor in the laundry room and declared them to be "monster mountain". She was kind of right. It did look like a montster mountain the way she had gottenin close!
My daughter loves to take pictures of her favorite stuffed animals, and she keeps one in her backpack in case she gets lonely in school.
my daughter is only six months old, so i havent had the pleasure of seeing any of her photographs YET…. .but i know shell enjoy this toy in just a few short yeas. my fav pics of all time are def our wedding pics and the pics of her birth!
My kids' also love to use my camera and I hover as well. More times then not they take pretty awesome pictures! I think I might try to do some more focusing like a kid!! : ) The eyes of a child!!
This looks like lots of fun for all my kids…ages 2,4,6,8!
My little boy took a picture of me kneeling over him changing his diaper. It was a funny perspective.
I love my pictures of my husband and I when I was 8 months pregnant. My daughter who was 6 then, took it while we were hiking in Southern Utah. I have proof of my huge belly and the places we went. Usually it's me or dad taking the pictures and we're not both in them.
My 6 year old & 4 year old love taking pictures, but I'm always afraid to let them use my point and shoot. Would love to win this for them!

My son is becoming quite the photographer. Best one yet…. daddy in the bathroom :-)
It is always so fun to see what kids take pictures of. I sometimes let them take picture with my phone and then later I try to figure out what they all are.
My 8 year old is wanting a camera for his birthday. We have lots of photos with thumbs or the ground etc. but my favorite are ones they take of each other from a unique angle.
My favorite pictures of my kids are when they aren't looking at the camera. I love candid shots.
Wow! Would love to win! Two of my kids love to take pictures. My favorite? My 5 year old son took a great picture of my husband and I! I'll be watching for the winners to give my info should I win…
My favorite picture is of my husband holding our toddler and baby while the toddler is giving his baby sister a kiss.
One of my favorite photos is of my husband holding our tiny, newborn son in his hands, against a black background.

My daughter captured a perfect pic of her brother and I…it was at just the right angle and height with wonderful lighting too. Don't know how she managed it, but I treasure the pic now!
This giveaway rocks my world!! love it.
My fav. picture my son took was of himself picking his nose.

first off…my kids don't take photos…we had a fisher price camera, but it broke shortly after we got it…so they aren't allowed to use my camera, yet. So i would love to try this one out for them!
As for my fav. photo, i love the photos that we take of everyone walking to the beach by our cottage year after year…we always go around the same time each year, so it is neat to see how the weather changes each year.
My kids love to take pictures of each other.
My husband was suppose to be watching my adorable 4 year old son while I was grocery shopping… I came home to HUNDREDS of pictures of himself. Funny face, sad faces, happy faces and…DADDY'S SLEEPING FACE. At first I was angry..then laughed..NOW I take him with me grocery shopping :) I would really love to win this camera. About a month ago my little one dropped it in the sand, now it won't turn on. *Dang* He loves taking pictures of everything and anything he can.
My little Eva (2/1/2) is always begging to use my camera, so this would be perfect for her.
My favorite picture is of my husband and I holding 9-month-old Eva when we graduated from law school. It is my favorite because Eva carries it around the house feeling special because she sees us all together on a special day. It's amazing what power a picture has!
My 2 1/2 YO would love this! I gave her my old, hald dead point and shoot and the pictures that come out of it are hilarious. One of my favoites is her taking a picture of her daddy. It's not in focus but he's being silly and I love it.
The best picture my 3 yr old caught was of my 10 yr old in the shower, singing away totally oblivious to what was happening :)
I have twin 5 yr. old girls, and they would love to win this, as I don't let them touch my camera!!! My favorite photos of them are too many to list, but any of them hugging have to be at the top!
My little guy loves to turn my cell phone onto camera mode and go around taking pictures of everything but especially himself. I love all those pictures
I let my daughter take our partially broken camera to the backstage stuff of her Nutcracker performance. I was in the hospital on bedrest and felt I was missing all the fun moments. I loved seeing her photos from her 7yr old perspective. From how she had her friends posing to what she thought was pretty. She would LOVE this camera!
My son took a photo of my dad that captures his personality better than anyone ever has before. It's a picture I'll always treasure!
Awesome! I don't have a specific photo, but my 5 year old daughter is a pretty good photographer for having so little experience. She loves getting control of the camera.
My daughter took a picture of my husband and myself in our first home. It was so sweet, and a little crooked… :-)
I have been letting my daughter take pictures with a little digital lately. It has been fun to see what comes out. My kids would love this. Could you give away three? :):) ha ha
My favorite photo my daughter took just after finding out we were expecting #2. She begs to take pics with my camera but it's not in the budget to replace a lens when she drops it.. again.
My son (18 months) is obsessed with my camera but its too nice to let him play with! He would love this. I have let him take pictures of things his height a couple times, and it is so cute
The 1st photo my eledest son who was probably 5 at the time took of me was in a Bluebonnet Field, I was pregnant with his now 21mo old little sister! I wanted to Bad to have a picture of myself and he was my only help! He did Good! I love that Time and his picture!
I love when my daughter (3) takes a picture and all you get is someone's belly or leg or foot. Way cute!
My kids haven't taken any pictures because they are too young to hold our nice camera so this would be perfect!
I just found your blog today and love it! My favorite picture is one my 2 year old took of my 1 year old caught in the act of dumping out my purse, which is where the 2 year old found my camera!
I am a follower and I know my kids would LOVE to own this camera. I let them use mine, but worry about it sometimes. It would be nice to let them have their own.
My son would love this!
My daughter is still a little young to take any pics, but my favorite picture is one of her with her mischievous grin!
I haven't let my 4 year old take any pictures yet.. she likes to pretend though and I'd love for her to have her own camera to really take some pictures with :)
My kids have been taking imaginary pictures with our old camera's. I love when one of my two year old twins comes up and tells me to smile and won't leave until I have posed for her.
Love the pictures my daughter (age 4) used to take with our old point and shoot… before it died. My favorites were shots of her dad from her point of view :D Glad to hear there is a good kid camera available now!
My 15 month old DD just started tilting her head to the side and giving the biggest smile when she sees the camera in my hand. My 5 year old always wants to take the pictures, "Mom, can I have a turn with the camera, PLEASE?" How can I say no?
My three year old caught a picture of my 1 year old smiling! I don't know how she did it- I can't even do it!
[email protected]
I'm a follower and my daughter's favorite photgraphy subject is her daddy!
Love seeing their perspective on things and what they take pictures of!
My daughter loves taking a pictures and her birthday is coming soon, this camera will be perfect for her!
