Vtech – Kidizoom Digital Camera – Blue

Excellent camera for your toddler

I got this camera for my 2 year old, in an attempt to keep her away from MY camera. It’s a great little camera. It has a color LCD on the back so she can review her photos, a flash with three settings (on, off, auto) (which, in on and auto, can bleach things out as she holds the camera about 1 foot away from her subject), takes video (the sound is of poor quality unless you are right in front of the camera or the one holding the camera). The images are obviously of low quality as it’s a kid’s camera so if you want this for an older child so they can print out their fabulous vacation photos you will be disappointed. It’s about the same quality as a cell phone camera. That said, the subject must also stay still and the person holding the camera needs to hold it stead. However, my two year old has turned out a number of good pictures, so an older kid should have no problem. I liked that the camera did video and took photos. It also has some editing capabilities – such as adding funny hats and borders to your photos right there in the camera. I haven’t used the software with it to do anything, again, as it’s just for my two year old, so I can’t speak to it. But it’s durable (she’s thrown and dropped it a number of times), she’s got about 200+ photos and a couple of videos on it and it still has room for more images, and the batteries seem to last a decent amount of time. It also had an auto shut off features, which is great. All in all, an excellent buy.
