Getting Your Kid Into Digital Cameras

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

Designed specifically for children ages 3-6, the VTech KidiZoom Digital Camera has large buttons that are easy to manage. It also has two large grips for small hands, and a dual viewfinder.

Review of VTech Kidizoom Camera Pink

easy to use, compact, robust digital video camera

Advantages: compact, fairly lightweight, tilting lcd viewer, excellent microphone
Disadvantages: makes beeps and whirrs when turned on.

...We bought our panasonic video camera, which takes mini dv cassettes, when we knew we were expecting our daughter to capture all her firsts. The camera has lived up to Panasonics good reputation and takes very clear video with excellent sound with good clarity of both audio and visual. The twisting lcd viewing screen is a brilliant feature too, especially for videoing my daughter as you are able to shoot film without holding the camera to your face, so you can interact with her as normal and she's not put off by the camera. It has got 500x digital zoom, which is excellent for taking natural footage of your loved ones while they are playing in the sea, or down the bottom of the garden etc! The camera takes a 7.2v battery, which lasts quite well. The only problem is you have to remember to turn the camera completely off...

Review of Panasonic NVGS33B CCD Digital Video Camera

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....

Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7

Polaroid PDC 3030 Digital Camera

Advantages: Cheap, Good specifications
Disadvantages: Not Readily Available

...using the LCD screen or viewfinder (Note, on bright sunny days the LCD screen can be near impossible to see), press the shutter button and keep the camera still until the camera beeps. I've never used the audio or video functions, and the instructions don't give indications of how long you can record in these modes. Memory ++++++ The camera comes with standard 16 MB of on board memory which will give you 9 high quality pictures or 16 lower quality. The 64 MB smart card gives 36 and 65 respectively. The software ++++++++++ The software is easy to install. It's simply loads into the CD drive and more or less auto installs. In windows XP there is no need to install the camera driver but under windows 98, there may be a need to install them. The software provided is the camera driver, Arcsoft Photoimpression 4.0, Microsoft...

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

...and I am still pleased with my purchase. Summary I'm realling enjoying using the Canon and it lives in my pocket most of the time now, before my camera would always be in a jacket pocket or a bag somewhere. It's not the cheapest of compact digital cameras and I have no idea if it is significantly better than others, but it's a real improvement over previous cameras for me and it seems to suit my needs. Of course if you are going to do some serious photography then please read some information from somebody that knows about these things :-) (also posted on dooyoo)...

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...

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...

Digital Camera - Polaroid PDC 3030

Advantages: small and compact, good quality pictures
Disadvantages: bleeping

...*Found you!* I had been looking for a good digital camera for ages, and then i saw the polaroid pdc 3030. It was cheap, small and good quality, so i decided to buy it from argos. Argos was doing a great deal: The camera, a small pouch for the camera, and a 64mb memory card for just under £100. So overall it saved me quite alot. *When it arrived!* I opened the box it had came in, and looked to see that it come with 4 AAA batteries, a pad of instructions, a software cd, a wrist strap and a USB cable. I then followed the instructions, and attached the wrist strap to the camera, and installed the software on my computer (windoes 98). The USB socket was covered by some rubber, that protected it. Near the microphone on the camera, there is a small socket. When you open it up, there is a small picture that shows which way round to...

Review of Polaroid PDC 3030 Digital Camera

Great first digicam for a small child

Advantages: Very easy to use, incredibly cheap, small and light
Disadvantages: Appalling picture quality

...We've been using digital cameras for about five years now, and thought it would be nice if our three-year-old daughter had one. So we bought her the L'Esprit for Christmas. It was very cheap. And so it should be. The box claims a picture quality of 640 x 480. Beware; they lie like rugs. The quality on 'high' mode is roughly a third of this pixel size at 352 x 288 and the quality is comparable to a webcam (the camera can also be used as a webcam). It takes 20 'high quality' pictures on fixed RAM. The sensor is CMOS rather than CCD, as is common for cheap digital cameras, and the picture is very grainy. It will just about take photos indoors in bright light, but is much better out of doors, and has fixed focus and no flash. It has no LCD preview screen. Despite all these drawbacks, this little camera has a lot going for it as...
