Turn your child into the family photographer with Vtech's Kidizoom Spin & Smile Digital Camera. Durable and easy to use, this 2.0 megapixel camera lets kids take and edit photos, record digital video, and play games. Designed for children three and up, the Kidizoom comes with a built-in flash for indoor shooting as well as a twisting lens for easy self-portraits. A variety of wacky frames, stamps, and other effects will keep your budding photographer entertained.
Sturdy Design Ideal for Young Photographers
Engineered with children's small hands in mind, the Kidizoom Spin & Smile Digital Camera comes with easy-to-grip, rounded sides and large, intuitive buttons. Kidizoom's sturdy design helps withstand rough handling by young photographers. While not indestructible, this camera stood up to repeated drops on a cement floor during testing.
Kidizoom comes with a twisting lens that flips effortlessly into position as well as a timer, taking the guesswork out of self-portraits and group shots. A zoom wheel activates the 4X digital zoom, while dual viewfinders and a full-color screen make it easy for children to compose pictures.
The camera screen's compact size does make it challenging to predict the photo quality before viewing on a television or computer monitor. Do not expect this 2.0 megapixel camera to take sharp photos of squirmy subjects in low-light conditions.
Zany Special Effects Unleash Creativity
Kidizoom allows your child to add silly hairstyles, wacky distortion, and colorful frames to photos. These can be easily viewed on a computer or television. Parents will need to spend a little time helping younger children find and use the editing features to allow them to fully unleash their creativity. Your child can also record movies with funny cartoon animations and scene-setting frames. A video recorder lets kids record and then distort voices, adding echo effects or robot intonations.
Along with the editing options, five preloaded games--including a photo puzzle, detective game, and germ-fighting adventure--will provide hours of educational entertainment for your child.
Review:
-Finally! A decent little camera that will bring the lucky child in your life hours of pleasure - whether taking pictures, making movies, or playing games - the VTech Kidizoom Camera has it all.
This isn't a toy at all - it is a real 1.3 megapixel camer with 4x digital zoom. There is 128MG internal memory (which will store up to 1000 photos and 10-15 minutes of video). There are three built-in games and the ability to make fun and wacky photos with editing. Oh and the best part, your little one will be able to make their own movies WITH sound. How great is that?
My granddaughter is forever grabbing my cell phone or camera to take pictures (some of them turn out pretty good!) and with this she certainly won't get bored. The camera easily connects to a computer for storage and to send photos to others. She has had other "children's cameras" but they were too complicated and, I must say, a bit boring compared to an adult camera.
The design allows the child to hold on to both sides of the camera for stability; it is very comfortable for little hands.
-My five-year-old daughter is in love with this camera. She used to be forever bugging me to let her use either one of my cameras or more often, my iPhone, so she could take pictures like Mommy does.
I'm what you might call an advanced amateur photographer. I don't take pictures for money, I do it for love and my little girl has definitely caught the bug. But she's five and she's clumsy, so I was more than glad when I got a chance to put this camera into her hands.
Now she's off and away with her dad every evening, out looking for things to photograph, so she can hook her camera up to the television and show Mommy just what a good photographer she is. She loves this camera, it's brought a lot of joy into her live. Her dad's and her mom's, too.
-My son received this camera for his birthday. He just turned 4. I am so pleased with the picture quality. It is also very easy for small hands to use. I can honestly say that in the past 4 days that he has had this camera, he has not put it down. He has filled the memory of pictures several times. I want you to know that this camera holds about 100 pictures. The great thing is that it is easy to upload the pics to my computer and he is good to go for another round. I think that the picture quality can compete with any "grown up" camera that I have had. I love the creativity that my son has in using his new camera. I just might have a photographer in the making.
-My boys, ages 4 and 5, love this camera. They fight over it sometimes, so I keep it put up in a cabinet and it only comes out when they can behave. They love to take pictures with it, which is easy, and they love the little games that are on it. I had the Little Tykes My Real Digital Camera, but the photo quality was poor and the battery compartment door broke, making the whole thing useless. This one is better quality in terms of photos and quality, plus it has the extras of games and photo effects. This could be a nice learning tool for a grade-schooler who is actually interested in photography, but can't yet be responsible for delicate equipment. Definite thumbs-up on this product. I need to get a second one to end the fighting over it. :)
-We got my son this camera several years ago when he was 3. He is almost 6 and it has help up well. He loves the games on it, and he loves to take pictures with it. Yes, the picture quality is bad, but what do you expect - it's a TOY! He has used and abused this camera, and it still works fine. Now his little sister is also taking pictures with it, and she loves it as well. This camera has really stood up to the many drops, kicks, and bangs that have occured over the years. Bottom line - if you want a good camera toy that will take pictures for a toddler/young child, buy this one. If you want a camera for your child that will take good quality pictures, BUY A REAL CAMERA (who knows how long a real one will work once put to the abuse test of a small child). For our purposes, of having a camera that takes pictures for our children to play with, this one is PERFECT! LOVE IT!
-Such a great camera for a great price. It has so many features! Not only can you take pics in all directions with the rotating lens but you can edit, add voice, etc. And he can play games on the camera. Even adults play with it. Love it!!!
-I bought this camera for Christmas for my two year old son, who's obsessed with mine. He loved it! The pictures he has taken are mostly of his feet, but he enjoys it and that's what I wanted. Besides, I know that by the time he gets older, he's gonna find out the games and extras of the camera and it'll be like a new toy for him!
The rotating lens it's the best! Finally he understands that he has to smile to take a picture, 'cause he sees himself on the screen.
All in all, a fun toy, and my kid loved it, so I'm happy!
