Anyone have any experience with children's camera's?
Want to buy my boy something that he can carry around other than a disposable.

things like this: http://www.elc.co.uk/toy/vtech-kidizoom-camera-blue/

any recommendations?


(thinking this is a better forum than the camera forum as this isnt a technical question, more about durability and ease of use! and guess more parents in here than in there :p )
 
cool, it does look good with all the extras that it does.
another bonus is the normal 20% off vouchers for ELC :]
 
he will be 4 in a week. using it isnt the worst thing, more dropping it / throwing it!
 
yeah, got a a470 here somewhere anyway. im liking that one as he can mess with the pics on screen and stuff.
 
good for you.
i'd rather have something that can be picked up and used again, rather than just say 'i told you so' and ruin his time.

**** happens, it gets dropped down some stairs or something, no more camera. great.

We've got one of them. Its tough alright and has been dropped by a 2 year old and 3 year old a few times.

As a camera, its total toss. As a toy its OK.

a couple of pics that have been taken would be nice if possible :]

if the quality is really that bad then i wont bother, would want him to be able to look at the pics and recognise what they are meant to be of hehe
 
thats an option, how protective are the cases and what sort of cost would they be. Also, how restrictive are they in terms of using the camera while in the case?
 
yeah it is low by the looks of it.

thinking my boy would like the playing with borders and adding stuff as well.

when adding stuff to the pics, do they save as a new file or overwrite the original pic?

I bought one for my cousin. He loves it. The photos aren't great but you can do other things with it like add stickers onto the photos and smudge the faces, stuff like that. Even though the quality of the images are bad, he still has fun taking the photos and is proud when he shows them off. Basically you should view it as a toy. If you want something for taking good photos on then get a real camera, but if you want something for him to have a bit of fun with then go for it.

yeah, it would be a toy but one that i would like him to be able to know what the picture was of hehe.
sounds pretty much perfect tbh.

You put the effects on, then take the pic.
