Vtech - Kidizoom Digital Camera - Pink

My daughter got this camera for her birthday in September and absolutely loves it. She started out just taking pictures of the floor and not pointing at subjects but has learned how to frame a picture and has become a pretty good photographer (for a 3 year old)! This camera takes a beating and keeps on working. Younger sis has dropped it countless times without a dent.

My daughter had it out of the package and into the sand box in 5 minutes. It has been chucked out of the car and handled by at least 12 different cousins. The only thing I would ask is that the button to take the pictures be a little easier. I don't think most 2 years would be able to get their finger around and push the button hard enough to get it to click. My daughter who is 3 took a little while to get it down. She loves it now, so overall a great little camera, OH and it takes great pictures, you get to see the world thru the eyes of little girl. She has taken 160 and not yet reached the end so it takes a lot and works well with iphotos.

I bought one of these similar models last year for xmas. It is junk. The resolution was horrible. My daughter was already used to using daddy's camera, I figured one of these would be more rugged. Maybe so, but horrible pics. I returned it and for $10 more bought a low end Kodak digi camera. it takes 4 megapixel pics and they look great. I have it in a case for her, and sitting on the counter to access whenever she wants (keeping it from the 2 year old). She takes the craziest pics of her toys and drawings and little sister.

Buy a real camera if your kid can handle it, same price....better quality...

I bought this camera for my 4-year-old and she absolutely loves it! She is not ready for an "adult" camera (and I can't believe any child under the age of 8 would be). It's important not to lose sight of the fact that this is toy camera meant for preschoolers and not an advanced digital camera meant for professionals. It a play camera for little kids. If you can keep that in mind, then I think you and your preschooler would be thilled with this toy. It takes reasonably good pictures and will teach your child to keep a steady hand. The games and editing features are really fun and easy for a preschooler to learn. We also love that we can plug this camera in to our TV and view a slideshow of our daughter's latest shots. She's had a ball with it. It seems to be pretty durable as it's been dropped several time... once halfway down the stairs. Overall, I think it a great product if you are looking for a camera for a preschooler.

I have to admit that I was not very familiar with the Vtech brand prior to this purchase and was a little skeptical. Everyone I had asked advice from in regards to a digital camera for my 4 year old told us to get the Fisher Price camera. Well...we followed their advice and were VERY disappointed with the Fisher Price camera. For lack of a better word, it was TERRIBLE to say the least. Picture was impossible to make out and it was just boring.I returned it the day after the party and picked up the Vtech version. THIS CAMERA ROCKS!!!! The picture is clear, there's a flash, you use as a video camera, you can even add some stamps to the photos like a pirate hat and eye patch. Our daughter is having a blast with this camera. Oh yeah...there's even 3 games in it!
This was a great purchase!!
