Getting Your Kid Into Digital Cameras

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

...No digital camera review on CIAO would be complete without a few entries about cameras designed for kids. After all, kids are almost universally enthusiastic about taking pictures. And parents with a love of photography often pass down their passion to their children. But digital cameras are not always kid-friendly, due to fragile construction, price, or complicated menus and buttons. The newest trend in children's electronics is a group of digital cameras made especially for small children. These cameras are easy to hold, come in bright colors that kids love, and have many of the same features as grown-up digital cameras. Kids love them. The VTech KidiZoom Digital Camera is one of the top digital cameras for kids. This camera was made with fun in mind. Kids like the KidiZoom's large LCD screen and the onboard photo editing options...

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

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...

Review of Fisher-Price Digital Camera

Polaroid PDC 3030 Digital Camera

Advantages: Cheap, Good specifications
Disadvantages: Not Readily Available

...easy to transfer pictures to the computer, and edit them once they're there. The menus aren't too difficult to learn, and like all new equipment, the more you use it the easier it becomes. Deleting pictures from the camera is fairly simple and there is a facility to reformat the memory card. Beware, if you use format whilst there are pictures on the card they will be wiped out. Flash photography can be simply a case of leaving the auto flash enabled, and let the camera determine if flash is needed, alternatively you can opt to have a manual setting, where you determine if you want flash used or not. Web Cam ++++++++ Due to it's video function, the camera can be used as a web-cam. Again I've never used it as this, but I didn't buy it for that function. I suppose if you were shopping for both a digital camera and a web cam, this...

Review of Polaroid PDC 3030 Digital Camera

My family history..... in a flash!

Advantages: Single use and cheap.
Disadvantages: Still lose the damn thing occasionally!

...I have always been a fan of photographs, I was "that" sad mother, who after the birth of her first child, took a camera full a week of photographs, then put them all carefully in an album, preserved for prosperity! Now if you are at all familiar with my other reviews you will notice one overwhelming similarity with them?? none of them are in the slightest technical! I am not what you would call a technophobe, I just can't get my head around it, my husband is more than capable of setting up televisions and uploading pictures from my daughters digital camera onto the computer, but I have trouble actually turning on a digital camera, let alone working out how to turn them into photo's I can actually hold. And before some smart arse points out that I have a picture on this site, I would like to say the most I did for that picture was...

Review of Polaroid Flash One Time Use Camera

A brilliant way to display your digital snaps.

Advantages: Crisp excellent colour. Brilliant way to show off your snaps. A great feature
Disadvantages: No battery facility.

...for SD,compact flash, xd and memory stick. You simply push the chip into the side of the frame and the photos will be ready to be accessed. You can choose to either download the images to the frame or play them from the chip. If you choose to download the images then after a simple navigation through the menu you can download them into the internal 256MB memory. This then allows you to take your media back and use it in your camera. You can also add photos direct from your PC to the frame. This is achieved with a simple USB cable and the images can be added to the frame as if it was an external hard drive. Using the frame The frame has a number of features that I make use of. First of all is the timer. I set the frame to turn on in the morning and off again at night. Saving energy when there is nobody there to see the pictures! There is...

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...

Review of Fuji Finepix S3500 Zoom Digital Camera

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....

Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7

Back in a flash

Advantages: 1 GB memory! 12 times that of a CD
Disadvantages: Burns a hole in your pocket

...Excellent compact flash card and great value for money. The card is stylish and very flexible in its uses. You can use it in your digital camera, in your mp3 player, some portable video players and other high tech portable gadgets. Very handy on the move and interchangeable with others that you may have. This is the highest memory flash card i have seen (1000mb- thats whole gig!), and for the price it is worth it to pay a little bit extra for double the 500mb memory. Which would up your devices performance in the memory department considerably. Considering that 512 mb can be anything up to 90 pounds alone, double the memory for 99 is certainly a bargain! In a camera its like changing film, with much less of the hassle of pulling back levers and pulling the ancient Nikon apart while warping the film by mistake. You just pull your old...

Review of Samsung Digital Camera Compact Flash 1GB Card

Canon DCC-80 Digital Camera Case

Advantages: Extra compartments for accesories
Disadvantages: Not as padded as other cases

...These days, most people own digital cameras. But not everyone owns a decent case to protect it from the knocks and bumps of everyday life. When my friend bought bought her new digital camera (a Canon Powershot A640) a case wasn't supplied, so we embarked on a mission to find a case which could keep her new bundle of joy safe. Although we found cheap cases in high street shops, none of them seemed to fit the camera as well as they should. Although we tried to find the correct case for the camera, we couldnt seem to find one anywhere. She then gave up. So, seeing as it was her birthday the following week, i decided to head home and look on the internet and get her one as an extra pressie. Within minutes of searching, i had bagged this little baby. Adbvertised at suitable for housing all cameras in the Powershot A Series (A710, A640, A...
