My 12yo niece will come visit this summer and I’m thinking of taking her on a photowalk (or more, if she ends up enjoying it).

Should we go with just my camera or should she have her own? (and in case, should I get her a “proper” one or a simpler/compact one?)

Can you share your experience in introducing young boys/girls to photography?

    Perhaps get a cheap / older DSLR or point and shoot. They’re pretty cheap for older ones and you can still get decent quality photos by setting everything to auto. Maybe also take some time afterwards to go through and edit a photo or two with her

    Places you can look for cameras are: ebay, craisgslist, (shop)goodwill, facebook marketplace, estate/garage sales, etc
