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 http://www.flickr.com/groups/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pool/ 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.
