Nothing wrong with a 110... (Reply to this comment)
by crownvic281
In my experience, 110 cameras, when used properly, yield excellent pictures. The only downside is they will be grainier than larger formats when prints are enlarged to 8x10. The reason 110 photos have such a stigma attached is the people that generally use these cameras, especially today, don't have a clue about photography. The statement you make "anyone can take a picture" is certainly not true. "Anyone can press a shutter button" is more like it!!!

Thanks for the comment.Don't be embarrassed about having a 110 camera, many people still prefer them. They at least are easy to load, and when taken in good light sometimes the pictures aren't too bad.

Loved this! (Reply to this comment)

Thanks for writing this piece---I will be returning to it when the time comes to buy our 6 year old a "real" camera.
Picked up a 110 for him at Target this year only because they were clearing them out for about $6. It's good for teaching him the basics and how taking a picture actually works, but it does take miserable photos.
Thanks again!

Thanks for your kind comment. I thought by now someone would have upbraided me for not giving specific model numbers, but it's hard to say exactly which ones people are going to run into at their store. I thought it would be better to give them an idea of what to look for and what to steer clear of, based on what they want.
If you still can't decide, you can always go the disposable route for a while.
I try to keep up with your opinions but you're a fairly prolific writer.(I'm terribly slow myself.)
Anyway, I enjoy reading them.

Yes, I have seen many, many pictures like that and some were taken by adults. I hope someone took some good pictures of "the Prez" that they can offer reprints of to the others.
Thanks for the comment,

Thanks for the comment. I try to have a little something for everyone. I recently read an opinion of yours on Avon SSS and its alternate use for dogs. Great idea and I love the picture of Otto.

You are a LIFESAVER! (Reply to this comment)

...As I wrote awhile ago, my 8 year old has been bugging me for a camera and I have begun to weaken. Since he certainly seems mature enough and has a pretty good eye for the unusual, I figured "what the heck!" But...the problem was...which camera to buy !?! Now, due to your well written epinion, I have some basis upon which I can start looking! Thanks Susie...for a informative, honest epinion!

Kids and Film (Reply to this comment)
by magenta321
You hit the nail on the head with the subject matter our photographers in training like to take. Recently, the president came to the school I work at. The children were excited, and their parents sent them to school with cameras. Most of my children, despite my rule of no pictures until the president arrived, were out of film by noon when he got there. They took pictures on the bus, in the halls, and even snuck them in class. Groan. I bet their parents were thrilled when they got the rolls developed.
