VTech Kidizoom Camera

This was bought for my 3 year old son who always wanted to use our camera, which we were afraid that he was going to drop one day. So, this seemed like the ideal solution. The only down side was the price, which costs around £35-£40. I really wanted to buy him a cheap one from Argos or Tesco for less than £20, with a bigger screen size. However, I knew that being used by a child, it would be dropped and very soon broken. So, begrudgingly, I bought it because of it's durability. I was pleasantly suprised. It is chunky and thus easy for little fingers to hold. The sides are rubberised and I think this reduces the impact when dropped...and trust me, it has been dropped a few times. We have the blue one and that has two faces that are interchangeable. The only disadvantage is that the screen size (1.8") is rather small for children. Also, you can play a few games on it, but I have not shown this to my son as I do not want him straining his eyes looking at such a small screen. The picture quality is ok for a child's camera, but unfortunately, it is not shake-proof...which you'd hope for. However, my son does have fun with it. It is a good product for young children, but I'd advise parents to go with a cheaper adult camera if 'dropping the camera' wasn't in issue.
