Fisher-Price Kid-Tough Video Camera - Pink Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this camera for my 2.5 yr. old daughter. She enjoys playing with it, but she presses the buttons in rapid succession over and over again. This rapid button pressing sometimes causes the camera to lockup -- the camera's screen will go blank and the camera's speaker will make a clicking sound over and over. The only fix I have found for this issue is to pop the battery compartment's door open and close it again, this resets the camera.
Another downside to the rapid button pressing is that you end up with a ton of "one second" videos. I think a feature to detect rapid button pressing should have been incorporated in the camera to avoid the lockup issues and the "one second" videos.
The quality of the video is what you should expect from a toy. The camera requires a lot of light to take anything other than "shadow" pictures. My daughter uses it mainly indoors, but outdoors is the preferred venue given the light requirements.
The camera comes with a USB cable to interface it with your home PC, but I have yet to try this feature out. It is very rugged and has been dropped, etc. without any problems, so far.
Overall, this is a great toy camera and I would buy it again. I would caution the buyer to shop around for pricing, though. I paid about $30 for mine, but I saw it advertised on the Net for as much as $50 from some of the ripoff sites out there.

Movie directors are getting younger all the time - with help from the Kid Tough Video Camera. It's designed so little hands can hold it steady and access all the buttons. And since no one likes to wait, they can replay video instantly on the camera. Hmmm

Little Tikes: My Real Digital Camera - Primary Colors Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My biggest frustration with the kids' cameras I've seen is that none seem to have full technical specs. So its hard to compare them. This camera has 64MB of memory and the pictures it produces are 640x480. There aren't slots to plug in additional memory cards. It comes with a standard USB cable and it reports itself as a standard USB storage device. There are no software drivers.
After a few minutes of instruction, my daughter mastered the controls and is now successfully taking hundreds of pictures at a time. She does produce a few dud pictures with the camera. Some of that comes from the 4 year old operator. But the camera shutter speed also seems a little slow for the lighting - making it easy to get blur. On the other hand, this often leads to some cool unintentional effects. And to be honest, when she's taking 100s of pictures, it's not so bad to be able to throw out a few here and there.
Overall though, this is a toy. And the pictures are mostly incidental. The biggest things for me are that she can operate the controls by herself and that she enjoys playing with it. Those needs were met.
The primary negatives are the ones others have mentioned - the large numbers on the pictures and the stubborn battery cover. The problem with the battery cover is not really that bad. I've had it off 3 or 4 times already since we've been cannibalizing old batteries from various remote controls and such throughout the house. The issue is that the screws are at a weird angle that makes them hard to get started. Having dealt with a lot of electronics - I probably wouldn't have known to complain if I hadn't read other reviews.
The other consideration for us was that this camera was about half the price of the comparable Fisher Price and VTech models. Since we were looking to buy a toy and not a professional camera, I think this camera was a pretty good value.

Little Tikes My Real Digital Camera Pastel Colors - Digital camera - compact Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this camera today. It gives a decent picture, the key is to wait for the image to stabilize before pushing the button to capture the picture. The screws are hard to get back in once you take them out to replace the batteries. To focus on an object you need to look at the image on the viewer, not the dual viewfinders (the 2 clear squares at the top of the camera). Also when you snap the picture you have to wait for a little camera to appear and it will also show a number ex: 001 then the next pic is 002 and so on..I don't like that you are unable to hear a sound to let me know a pic was taken. This camera does have a flash, which helps lighten a darker background. For the price it's ok, for the little kids it could be exciting. This is a xmas gift for my daughter (3 years old) and I think she will like it. Oh and by the way when you download the pics to your computer, the pics really look distorted, but when I click on "get photos" the pics look good and clear.

Vtech Kidizoom Digital Camera - Pink Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My four year old daughter absolutely loves this camera. She does have to have a steady hand for pictures to come out clear but that is usually the case with any camera. It has taught her a little patience. LCD screen isnt clear but when pictures are downloaded to computer, quality and clarity is a lot better. I was actually shocked with how good the pictures looked. I had read some negative reviews about this type of camera so I was expecting a lot worse.
I bought it for her for Christmas'09 and I am so glad I did. I can see her using it for a couple of years and then upgrading her to a one that is a little more advanced. This one has wonderful features and it is giving her practice with digital camera technology. It has a zoom, flash, and she has the ability to go back and scroll through all of the pictures she has taken. She was able to figure it out in one day. She loves being able to place stamps and frames on the things she is taking pictures of. She can go back and add them too.
Don't buy this camera if you are expecting professional quality photos(even though quality actually isn't that bad), buy it if you would like your child to get the opportunity to explore, learn and use digital camera technogoly and have fun doing so. It has the basics needed to be able learn what is needed with out all of the other confusing settings and features that a child wouldn't understand anyway.
It also has some games but, we have not had the opportunity to explore those yet. I have a feeling she wouldn't be interested in them anyhow, not now anyway.
Excellent educational tool. `
