I bought this camera for my almost 3-year-old daughter. Before purchasing, I checked out reviews of various children's' cameras and was concerned about both durability and age appropriateness (ability for a young child to use). This one seemed promising, so I took the plunge.

Within 10 minutes, my daughter had snapped over 20 photos and was starting to find her way around the various features (some of which I'm pretty sure she won't understand for a while, but that's not a problem -- getting back to shooting mode is very simple). Within another 10 minutes she had figured out a number of other features. It's easy for her to hold and seems really durable. i imagine it would be able to withstand standard toddler banging around.
