Hi

Anyone got any ideas for a camera/camcorder for my 5 year old.He loves taking pics with his vtec and even more so when I let him use my G11 or more recently the GF1.
I'm looking for something that will give a decent A4 picture and preferably shoot 720p video.I was thinking that one of the rugged/waterproof cams might be ideal but probably a bit to expensive.I could probably stretch to the £200 mark but £100-£150 is probably more sensible.
I don't really know anything about the compact part of the market so was hoping for a few suggestions.Something small that could fit in a case with his DSIXL would also be better.
Only thing that has caught my attention upto now is the Kodak Playsport ZX3 camcorder but that gets mixed reviews and the camera part is apparently pretty poor.

Cheers
Gary
 
If he's like my 4 year old daughter give him your kit! They seem to have a knack for getting much better images than us 'oldies'.

If you think he's got potential why not look out for a second hand 20D?
