I miss my Fisher Price PXL2000

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PXL-2000

Actually, I never had one. They were slightly before my time. I miss
the idea of them... the stories of them, and all the videos I've seen
shot on them by various art school types. I've never actually used one
in fact.

I will however always have my jamcam

Let's not forget that even toy cameras can be much sought after goods
for budding young film makers. A good toy can be the difference.

Steven Spielberg started making films when he was 10.

... or somewhere thereabouts. :)

Just don't underestimate the quaility of the hardware, not to be
confused with the picture quality. While kids don't care about
features they still understand quality.

I'm reminded of this as my niece never ever bothers to shoot pictures
with her POS camera, and who would when they'll probably all just get
deleted anyway. I should have given her my jamcam.

It's not the price even, I bet you could find a perfectly awesome
camera for under $50... or you might even find him a hand me down of
some sort... though 6 years is a little you yet for anything that
might be handed down.

Peace,

-Mike
