As a pro photographer and mom of three, there’s been a fair number of kid cameras in my house. But some kid cameras only last a few weeks, while a select few have remained longtime favorites.
The biggest difference between choosing a camera for adults and choosing a camera for kids is that age plays a key role. That’s why when I wrote about the best cameras for kids, I narrowed my choices down based on age.
But, now the holiday sales are here, and as Cyber Monday hits, it feels like hundreds of kids' cameras are at a discount right now. Frankly, it’s a bit hard to cut through all the noise – unless you know what you’re looking for. As a mom of three and pro photographer, these are the only Cyber Monday deals on kids' cameras that I’d consider gifting this holiday season.
For any age
For toddlers and young kids
For tweens and teens
Instant film
Instant cameras are fantastic options for teaching kids a bit of patience and history in one. A word of caution though, these instant cameras below stop working once you run out of film (unlike the digital hybrid Instax Mini Evo above). Expect to periodically spend some money on more film.
