Both of my girls (11 & 13) have really gone to town with ZX-10's. When My
Super Program was available, they didn't bite. I believe it is a
combination of weight, 28-80 zoom lens, autofocus and built in flash. They
don't care much for technical exposure at this point but really like
composition. With the ZX-10/50/30/7 series this works great. They have no
interest in my ZX-M because of no popup flash. Remember that their subject
interest will be different than yours. Namely, their friends. Flash helps
many times here and they don't like to put on my big flashguns.
Hope this helps,
