Hello Boris
Knowing her, you probably know your self, if she'll apprecialte it.
I'm sure she'll want a digital camera in order to be able to see/sjow the
images at once.

If I remember correctly (my girls are 27 and 30 by now) she'll be very much
engaged in role playing (assuming it's a girl).
Making birthsday parties etc. for her dolls etc. If a camera can be fitted
into such "games", she'll probably enjoy it. But she'll/he'll probably enjoy
drawing or painting even more ;-)

Boys are perhaps different. My son's favorite toy at this age was the vacuum
cleaner!
And of course guns, swords, cars, tractors - all sorts of machinery. I gave
him his first camera when he was 7 or 8 (A Pentax Zoom 70). He never cared
much for taking pictures, though. Later I bought him a Topcon SLR with 3
lenses, and even later a 4MP digital camera. He never uses any of them ;-)

You should get your kid what he/she really wants. That's what he/she will
enjoy the most ;-)
Regards

Hi!

Ladies and Gents, the PESO by Fred reminded me of my rather crazy
idea... I am thinking of giving my daughter a camera as a birthday
present for her 5th birthday. Something simple, inexpensive yet capable
of taking real pictures.

Do you think a 5 y.o. kid would enjoy such a gift? Any personal
experience to share?

Boris
