Disadvantages: 16 MB Internal Memory and No Zoom Capabilities

The camera can store up to 120 photos or 5 minutes of video. This resilient camera is sturdy enough to handle the tumbles that it will inevitably face. 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

Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS -nice little camera

Advantages: Nice little pocket camera with all the necessary features
Disadvantages: Can't really think of anything

...I am not an expert on digital cameras and this is just the second one I bought. So I cannot really compare the Ixus 80 with other cameras. Nevertheless, I really like it. Looks The Lxus 80 comes in Classic Silver, Caramel, Chocolate and Candy Pink in an aluminium body. It is small enough to fit in a pocket and can be tacken anywhere with no problems. As far as I can say it is very reliable and does brilliant pictures for a normal user. Features It works with 8 megapixels .The 3x zoom works for all the general snapshot moments. It comes with an Image Stabilization (IS moniker) to reduce camera shake. As far as I know this is not standard on all cameras yet, but becomes more normal in newer models. The lens is glass, so it?s definitely an advantage towards cameras with a plastic lens. You can certainly see that in the quality...

Review of Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS

A truly remarkable camera.

Advantages: Hd video recording, great photos, looks good
Disadvantages: EXPENSIVE!

...This camera is one hell of a camera and I was not disappointed buying this. I have been making some extra cash doing photography for parties and similar types of things just lately and this has been my new best friend. It is reliable and takes very high quality pictures as well as having the ability to record HD, yes! HD!, video at resolution 1080p (which is a lot better than most cameras). First I'd like to comment on the design, looking both professional as well as striking; this really gives off the impression that you are a professional photographer and it is a pleasure and a pride to take photos with it. It takes pretty impressive photos too; I have always had excellent results with this camera. It has 21.1 megapixels, meaning that the photos are crystal clear and allowing you to digitally crop and enlarge photos beyond...

Review of Canon EOS 5D Mark II - 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

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

...I'd seen the adverts on TV for these cameras quite a while before Christmas, they first became available in 2006, but I hadn't really noticed until the run up to Christmas that they were around. When I first saw it, I must admit I couldn't believe they had made a digital camera for kids! Wow, whatever next. They'll be making real working mobile phones for three year olds next! Turns out this isn't the first time Fisher Price have launched a camera for children in 1984 which sold close to 5 million, a very popular idea apparently. So, I thought I'd buy for my little girl, she loves anything that makes her feel like a grown up, she also loves to figure out how to work things which makes this toy ideal for her. I live in the middle of nowhere so it was internet Christmas shopping for me this year - I love E-Bay so thought I'd have...

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

So glad to be back to a Canon!

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

...leave the flash switched on with my Samsung as it seemed to use it when it wasn't required at all. The Canon seems to produce a nice sharp image in most indoor situations without resorting to using the flash, giving a more natural image. It will use it when needed though. The optical zoom is 3x, not a particularly high number, quite standard on compact cameras. There's a little dial around the button to take a photo, an intuitive place to put it in my opinion. If you're looking to produce some videos for youtube then it does produce high defintion video, but without the optical zoom. You can achieve playback directly to your TV via the HDMI connector on the camera, first time I've seen that feature and a great idea I think. I've been using a 4GB SDHC card in the camera and the photo write speed is very good. What really impressed me...

Review of Canon Digital IXUS 100 IS Digital Camera

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...
