Is the Generic No-Name Kids Camera from Discount Bins worth buying?

Save yourself the disappointment and spend the extra fifteen dollars — your kid deserves better than this. After all the research, the impromptu photo shoots of our very patient dog, and one memorable incident involving the Instax and an entire pack of film, Maisie has landed happily with the Dragon Touch as her daily driver. She’s taken about 400 photos in the last month — mostly of the dog, some of me looking tired, and a genuinely impressive series of sunset shots from our back porch that I secretly saved to my own phone. I’m not crying, you’re crying. My one piece of dad advice: whatever camera you pick, resist the urge to hover and correct. Let them take bad photos. Let them take weird photos. The point isn’t the megapixels — it’s the kid learning to see the world and decide what’s worth capturing. That’s worth more than any spec sheet. If you’ve found a kids camera your little one loves that I didn’t cover here, drop it in the comments. We’re always looking for the next ‘Dad, can we get?’ moment.
