You've got to love the no cost of picture taking these days. I was given my first camera when I was around seven. It was crap quite frankly but at least I had one. Problem was film and processing were expensive so I was bought two films a year
My six year old is already on his third or fourth 2nd hand digital compact and I can encourage him to take as many pics as he likes
Not so keen on him creeping up on me with it though
I picked up a little Kodak for a fiver from the carboot sale the other week which I'll give to my youngest at Christmas (yeah, even Santa's been hit by the economic cruch
).
