I would first try out her interest by giving her one of my own camera's.
One of the lesser used, but a good starter for children, would be the
(already quite vintage) Canon AF35ML. They're cheap and very basic, yet
powerful. I think it was one of the first real point-and-shoot camera's,

Well, I gave my three year old grandson his Kodak DX3215 (1.3Mp)
digital camera yesterday. He didn't seem too excited by it, but today
he asked for it when my wife took him to the park. He took about a dozen
shots - mostly of his feet, or of his fingers. However, he did take this
one.

I have four children. 3 of the 4 have their own cameras. They are
aged 18, 16 and 9. The 18 and 16 year old girls are with me right now
to help shooting a wedding tomorrow. The 9 year old has interest in
spurts. I also have a 5 year old who exhibits about the same interest
as my 9 year old.

I still have the family album containing the shots (contact copies) I took
back then in the ealy sixties ;-)

I enjoyed my Kodak Disk Camera when I was around five -- though by the time I
was seven I realized that the image quality was poor and that often pictures
were bad due to things beyond my control. So I requested a 35mm SLR for my
birthday (thanks to my careful research in Spider-man comics).
Depends...

My three old grandson is about to go digital. A friend has a old Kodak
1.3Mp with a broken flash, which they no longer want. I'll be getting it for
him. It'll be interesting to see if he finds it fun, and can relate to
the images on the screen.
Naturally he already has a computer - a better one
I often buy disposable cameras for my daughter now 8. Pictures are

A simple digital would be great and the mistake photos would be inexpensive.

Hello Boris
Knowing her, you probably know your self, if she'll apprecialte it.
I'm sure she'll want a digital camera in order to be able to see/sjow the
images at once.
If I remember correctly (my girls are 27 and 30 by now) she'll be very much
engaged in role playing (assuming it's a girl).

My godson, at three, loved seeing his image appear after taking his
picture with a Polaroid. Maybe a bit too large for a five year old to
master, and a bit pricey for film.

Dunno about 5.
When our kids were 7 and 10, we took a 4-month
sabbatical in Oxford (Cottyland). We got each of them
one of the simple Kodak cameras with the pop-up
"cobra" flash that folded down over the lens for
storage. They really enjoyed them, and still have the
photos. Alas, neither of the
Boris ... it would seem that you (should) know your child better than any
of us. All kids are different. My niece loved the little camera I gave
her, and used it for a while. A friend's son thought a camera was the
stupidest gift he could ever have received, much preferring music oriented
items.
