We received this as a gift for our 6 year old daughter while on holiday. She excitedly snapped away, but we found that as soon as the batteries are removed, the camera resets and all pictures are lost. Unfortunately, the battery cover is also very flimsy and tended to pop off just while walking with the camera. We learned this on day 2, and I had to spend the rest of the holiday following her around and trying to snap some of the same shots, so that she would not be heartbroken.
I will instead buy a second hand digital camera for the kids to use.
Pros: easy
Cons: everything else
