As a new mother I take lots of photos of my firstborn. My brother who has two kids of his own lent me his digital SLR camera at first so I could take photos of my son’s milestones. I found it a bit bulky. It also took long to open and it took a while before I could take a photo. I decided to get a point and shoot digital camera so I could easily capture those precious moments.

A point and shoot camera makes it easier for me to take plenty of photos. When is see my baby starting to get up or crawl, I can easily get the camera and literally point and shoot. My new camera is also smaller so I can easily place it inside my baby’s crib and take his photo without distracting him. A pint and shoot digital camera is also much cheaper. You can choose models that have several advanced features should you want more from your camera.
