Getting Your Kid Into Digital Cameras

Advantages: Features Like Any Regular Digital Camera
Disadvantages: 16 MB Internal Memory and No Zoom Capabilities

...plugged into the side to keep game noise to a minimum. Some of the VTech Kidizoom's additional features include: .3 megapixels with an 1.8" color screen Double viewer or LCD screen for easy photo taking Connector cables for TV or PC hook-up Photo editing capabilities SD card slot for extra memory Three preschool games Changeable faceplates 16MB internal memory (200 photos or 5 min video) Parents who bought the VTech KidiZoom Digital Camera praise its solid structure. Children who received this camera as a gift were very pleased with it. Some users mentioned that the camera is too dim in low lighting, and the videos are very low resolution, but that those things were expected from a child's camera. In all the KidiZoom is a wonderful camera for young photographers to learn with, and the games and special image effects add to...

Review of VTech Kidizoom Camera Pink

Canon IXUS 95 IS: The best amateur digital camera on the market

Advantages: Very high quality pictures for both print and web work.
Disadvantages: The bundled software that comes with it has a very Fisherprice feel about it.

...After reading many reviews on Amazon and amateur camera sites about the different types of hobbyist level digital cameras, I decided to buy one of these. The camera itself has a metal casing and so has a sleek feel and look to it. It's very light weight and compact making it very easy to carry around in a handbag or while, (and most importantly) taking pictures! I found that it took only 5 - 10 minutes to get the camera working from out of the box. It was so simple, I didn't take that much notice of the manual. When starting up the camera, it isn't slow like they digital cameras of yesteryear. Its ability to capture anything in an instant is one of it's many advantages. The photos it and you produce are very high quality, as I found out the other day when I had some printed off at home. The only downside is the bundled software...

Review of Canon Digital IXUS 95 IS

Advanced and good value for money digital camera

Advantages: Good camera
Disadvantages: Price

...I bought this camera from marks and spencers for £279.99. This camera is great due to all the features that it has. It has a great 12x optical zoom, which even at 9x or 10x zoom, the pictures look quite clear and well taken photos. It has a good image stabilisation feature which allows you to take photos even if the object of person is moving very fast. Its battery life is quite good compared to most ordinary cameras which allows you to take 250 photos on average. It is a 10.1 megapixel camera which has a very high number of pixels for each picture, and I can say this is definitely so when I upload my pictures onto my laptop as the pictures are VERY clear and they still look good when zoomed in by half the size of the picture....

Pure Digital Evoke 3 DAB Radio - top sound for a portable radio

Advantages: Great sound, great features, record to SD card
Disadvantages: Can't record one station whilst listening to another, no MW and not the most intuitive to use.

...I pondered for ages trying to decide between the Roberts RD55 and Pure's Evoke 3 as I wanted something that had functionality to pause and rewind, record (specifically to SD card), play FM stations, have stereo sound and play MP3's as well as one that gave great sound and could carry base and wouldn't distort at high volumes but I couldn't find anywhere on the net that compared the 2. I knew the Evoke 3 had won loads of awards but that was in 2006 and with it being 2008 I realised technology would have moved on so the newer RD55 could have improved or equal quality sound without having won any awards. In the end I realised the only option was to actually go into a shop and listen to the sound for myself (having a baby I'd put off doing that as it can be such a mission to get out these days!). The only local shop I found that had a good...

...the compartment door. Next to the battery compartment is a tripod mount. The top has 3 buttons on the left, 1 is for previous picture and the other is for the next photo when reviewing the shots you've taken. The shutter button is at the right hand side At the top left corner on the back of the camera, is the viewfinder and next to this is the status LED. To the right of this is the capture/playback button and to the right of this is the main power button. In the centre is the LCD (Liquid crystal display) screen which is approximately 3 x 2.5 cm. To the left of the screen is the memory button and below the screen are two scroll buttons. The right hand side of the back is raised to form a hand grip which complements the one at the front.

Review of Polaroid PDC 3030 Digital Camera

So glad to be back to a Canon!

Advantages: Small, tough, simple and fast to use
Disadvantages: A little expensive

...! Using the camera Everyone that has tried to use this camera has found it easy to use. I simply leave it in the auto position and it detects whats going on. You can see what it's up to, as the little box in the top left of the screen tells you when it switches modes. If you're taking some close up photos to sell your old camera on eBay then it automatically knows to use the macro feature. It also detects the dreaded backlight situation, so it knows to use the flash rather than leave your fantastic portrait shot looking like a silhouette. Of course if you were looking for that effect, you can easily press a button to disable the flash. It did get this wrong on one occasion though, but otherwise it's worked fine. Good news for me is that it seems to be more sensible about use of the flash than many other cameras. I was always reluctant to...

Advantages: Small and light, perfect for carrying around. Very easy to use.
Disadvantages: Battery compartment is a little fiddly.

...those you don't get to see very often. • Who's the ML-L3 Nikon remote for? The ML-L3 Nikon remote control is very easy to use and is ideal for any level of photographer. Made by Nikon, it works with the Nikon D50, D70 and D70s digital SLR cameras (and some websites say it works on the Nikon F65, Coolpix 8400 and Coolpix 8800, too). Each of these cameras has an in-built receiver for the remote control so no other equipment is needed. I've been using mine with a Nikon D50 and it works a treat. • How much does it cost? I chose to buy from Amazon where it was £11.99. • Vital statistics: Designed with a lightweight black plastic casing, the remote measures: 2.4 x 1.1 x 0.25 inches (6 x 2.7 x 0.5cm). It arrives in a small box with no instructions so I was glad I kept my camera manual. Mine came with its...

The Abbie Proof Camera!

Advantages: Keeps kids amused for ages, great range of features, very tough and durable
Disadvantages: Batteries run out quick, picture quality not great

...a look on there for it. Anyway, I found a very durable looking Fisher Price Kid Tough Digital Camera in pink (brand new in packaging) being sold for £50, £10 postage on top. Not bad as £60 is what they sell for in the shops anyway. A week later and it arrived?.I kept it hidden from my daughter at this point as it wasn't yet Christmas. When she was safely tucked up in bed I decided to have a look. - THE TECHNICAL BIT These are it's features - 1.3" Backlit colour LCD screen 8MB of memory built in Facility to add an SD card for extra memory if required USB Lead to connect to a computer to upload and print photos Two eye viewing holes Two handle grips Automatic Flash Navigation via symbols (easy to understand for kids) WHAT I THOUGHT Well, I was impressed with the features especially the navigation, this meant my 3 year old...

My First Digital Camera - A Gushy Tribute

Advantages: Bargain buy and provides high quality pictures
Disadvantages: Bit on the bulky side

...Okay, I was walking down the main shopping street in Edinburgh, Scotland, and I passed a high-street electrical goods retailer. And there, in the window, I saw her!!! She was blown up in a large promotional poster, and allI could do was stare at her figure(s)! Reduced from 250 pounds to 129 pounds! 4 million pixels! Zoom! Flash! 60 second video recorder! I had to have her there and then! Luckily I had the money in my account as I had just received a nice little tax rebate (ha ha ha ha). What better way to spend free money than on my first digital camera. In the store, I was met by an extremely friendly and helpful clerk who showed me the camera. He was confident in the product as he didn't give me any instructions - only that the camera was very easy to use. My girlfriend has had a digital camera for quite a while, so some...
