4.0 out of 5 stars
My son loves this camera!,

This review is from: VTech Kidizoom Multimedia Digital Camera (Blue) (Toy)
I read the reviews on this camera before buying it and decided that durability and ease of use were more important than picture quality - not least because it was to be a present for my 4yr old, but his 2yr old little brother was bound to use it, so it had to be tough enough to cope with a toddler. We opened and experimented with it before giving it to our son, so we knew how to get decent images (Hold it still, make sure there's plenty of light - natural if possible - and don't get too close), and could coach him.
My son is utterly delighted with it. Both boys have taken decent pictures with it, and my 4yr old was familiar with the main functions within minutes. he can snap away with it and has produced a lovely record of his typical day, and what interests him. He's never had a computer console, so he's just as pleased with the (very basic) games as with the camera. It is only really camera phone quality, and you get the best results with natural light, but I remember my first camera being much more fiddly to use and giving poorer results. My son is more interested in taking photos and knowing he has them than actually reviewing them so he has yet to notice that I delete the less successful ones! My only gripe is the batteries. We are using duracell and getting a decent battery life from them, but rechargeable ones would be so much easier (and cheaper) to use. The memory cards are pretty cheap, so it's worth getting one to avoid losing photos when the batteries go. I wouldn't get one of these for an older child who could be trusted to look after a proper camera, but for a pre-schooler (especially one with younger siblings), it is just the job.

5.0 out of 5 stars
£50 well spent,

= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: VTech Kidizoom Multimedia Digital Camera (Blue) (Toy)
I bought this camera for my daughter's 3rd birthday and I have to say it is fantastic, so much so that my 6 year old is now desperately jealous and has written to father christmas to ask for one. If I had read some of the reviews on here before buying I would probably not have bought it, luckily I didn't bother to. Yes sure, the quality is not perfect but it is tough, easy to use and produces reasonable results in the hands of a 3yr and 6yr old. They love the extra frames and added stamps which mean you can put granny in a pirates hat or transport your barbie to a snowy scene. They haven't explored the games yet but I did when they went to bed and particularly liked the one which makes a puzzle using their own photos. I think that if you have an unusually steady handed and very careful child then sure, buy them a real camera but if you have real kids, then buy this. I speak as someone whose 6yr old (who is a quite normal, fairly careful girl) has now had 3 grown up cameras ranging in price from £20 to £40 each and has broken everyone of them by one drop onto a hard surface. We shall be instructing father christmas to get us another one please!

This review is from: VTech Kidizoom Multimedia Digital Camera (Blue) (Toy)
My twins were desperate for their own digital cameras for their 5th birthday, so I started to research what was available. We nearly didn't get them at all, as the reviews were, in some cases, quite damning, but I'm so glad that we did! The picture quality might not be as good as some would like, but it's fine for what they want. In no time, they'd mastered taking photos, adding googly eyes/pirate eye patches, deleting any really bad pictures and playing the games. We were really worried about the battery consumption, but it's been two weeks now, and we've not had to change them yet, despite quite heavy usage!
Having seen the enjoyment that my kids have got out of them, I would certainly recommend these for children of around 4-6. A cheap "grown up" camera may take better pictures, but it would also be more difficult to handle, easier to block the lens, be less durable and wouldn't have the fun features. These cameras are designed with kids in mind and, as such, do the job perfectly.
