I bought one of these, some years ago, have used it many times and can say it really is a good and, for the money, cheap, easy to use projector. artograph also have the 'prism' projector, which is hugely expensive for what it is, as it works on the same principle as this tracer, in fact for the same price you are into digital all singing, dancing projectors. A reviewer said they have used it for photographs, I never have but would question whether the heat from the bulb would cause the photo to warp?, as the image is not that far from the light source. Basically what you have here is light and mirrors, simple but very effective way to transfer a image to another surface.
Size matters; the image needs to fit within the 5x5inch base, but don't let that fool you as it will enlarge greatly. The further away from the surface the larger the image and visa versa, focus is manual/turning the front focus ring, which has never fallen off during my use. Very easy to use. As another has pointed out, the tracer can get a little warm, and as it is an electric item then if a child is to use it an adult should be in charge, and for that reason I feel it should not be classed as a toy. It is lightweight/portable and I do not consider it flimsy.
If you want to transfer images to walls,canvas, paper... whatever, and do not want to pay the earth then this will do the job very well.

Whilst it is advertised as a 'TOY',its main purpose for me is to transfer photographs etc. onto canvas before painting. So it is not used as a toy, but an aid to my painting. It does lack a lot of refinement (uneven finish on the base means I have to level it) and the lens falls out if you are not careful.
All that aside, it is the cheapest way I have found of transferring images onto canvas,whilst maintaining correct perspective etc.
Amazon's price was the best I could find, and with no postage to pay it made it a decent buy.
It does the job I want (just) and as the next alternatives such as overhead projectors etc. are so expensive, it is the only option within my purse at present.

THis projector is a brilliant way to enlarge any image - from your own drawings and photos to a pretty leaf found out on a walk. Good for artists of all ability and kids too. Just what I was looking for. I think it is a fair price too. I was worried it would be heavy but it is very light a movable.

The clues are all there
The clues to this projector are in the words "toy" and 23 watt. It is very poor indeed. Everything about it including the lens that drops off at the end of its travel is poor. Read more
