How to introduce a 12yo to photography? (lemmy.ml)

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?

Oh, yeah, certainly! DLSR cameras back then were expensive, and I'm afraid I'd be made to pay for it if I ever break something.

Right now, they're still kinda expensive for me, but not enough that I get paralyzed fearing any action might break something. 😅

EDIT:

I just did the conversion, and a DLSR at 50€ is kinda cheap indeed! Considering it's like 500€ back then (well, brand new entry level because you've basically got no choice). I think I'm seeing like 1500€ DLSR cameras on display at shops tho, and I'm like "who has the money for these?!"
