DS1 purchased his own adult digital camera at that age. He was very responsible with it and had it for years. DD (as a toddler) is the one who broke it, so we replaced it.
DD had a vtech and then bought her own adult digital camera at 6.
DD's vtech is now DS2's camera.
Both of my kids are very good with having a real one (roughly $100), and have handled their cameras with care. Totally a YMMV.Mama to DS-2004

I was in the camera store yesterday buying something for myself. I then asked for recommendations for camera for kids. He pointed out this one

It is only $110 is shockproof and waterproof. He said it was made for kids in mind. You certainly can't buy any other shockproof, waterproof for that price. Most run in the $300 range. He said the buttons were larger also.
