Vtech Kidizoom Digital Camera Customer Review:
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.
Vtech Kidizoom Digital Camera 9 Key Features
The Vtech Kidizoom Digital Camera is a lightweight, big button, and easy-to grip digital camera for kids. Now your child can be just like the big boys and girls clicking fun pictures to keep them occupied and discovering for hours.
Here are my favorite features:
- Two-eye viewing for helping your child get the picture they see, and its light weight reduces camera shake.
- Special grips so the camera fits – and stays – in little hands, but its rugged design also ensures those occasional “whoops” don’t ruin your preschooler’s smiles.
- And talking of smiles – a built-in flash to capture those fun pictures regardless of the time of day, location or weather.
- Ability to shoot video and make short movies for the little Steven Spielberg in your family – children love this feature about the Kidizoom camera.
- Connector cable to plug in and watch a picture slide show, or view the movies on TV or PC. Children are excited to see their photos on a screen seconds after they’ve taken them, and the quality is good enough on a small TV and most monitor screens.
- Includes simple-to-use photo editing software so children aged three and up can add crazy effects to their images – like making the cat… wear a hat, or making their friends have contorted faces!
- Kidizoom camera comes with three preschool educational games for when the photo session is over but the learning can continue.
- 16MB of internal memory and an SD card slot so that you can add capacity if you need it… this camera lets your little tikes collect lots of images. An SD card is not included but worth the additional expense.
- Comes in different colors – orange, pink and blue. Orange was the original color and gender neutral.
And one of my favorite features – the price! A Kidizoom Digital Camera which starts from$35.
Rugged and easy to use, the Vtech Kidizoom Digital Camera is ready to capture all your child’s adventures and memories. Just be prepared for a lot of giggling and huge smiles on your kids faces once they get their hands on this camera. But the smiles are included in the price!
