>>4207283Horrible idea. Even adults are often unhappy with canon's idiotic ergonomics and the DSLRnosaur experience which is halfway between the zen of film and the crutch-laden hyper-efficient automated experience of mirrorless, in just the right way to interfere with your work but never help it. It's very easy if you know the whole exposure triangle but it's still irritating to have to even care, and the focusing experience is... nah. I fucking hate DSLR autofocus and will use manual lenses and split prism screen if available. The only reliable way to use it is to use one single AF point, even on the newer ones. Maybe the smallest possible movable array.
The powershot and shitty kids cameras are more legitimate recommendations. Easy to use and not a confusing hybrid between the analog experience and the digital takeover. I would honestly rather give a kid an all manual film SLR like an olympus OM-1n than a DSLR and simply take the time to teach them the grand total of 7 controls on it. You can fit how2olympus in a 4chan greentext.
>ISO is not a setting to be messed with, set it to the number on the box of film>move this lever to the right to load a new frame>this ring in the middle of the lens is focus, put the circle in the viewfinder on what you're taking a picture of and turn it until it lines up>these rings in the front and back are the shutter speed and aperture>if things are moving fast you want the shutter speed to be high>move these controls until the needle in the viewfinder is in the middle>if the background is bright and the subject is dark, needle just above the middle>if the background is dark and the subject is bright, needle just below the middle>if the number on the front aperture ring is very small, the background will be very blurry, and you can use bigger numbers for the shutter>if it is very high, the background will not be blurry, but the number you will use for the shutter speed will be smaller>now press butan
