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...

Fujifilm F480 Camera

Advantages: A great all round stylish camera
Disadvantages: Not for tehcno-phobes!

...I upgraded my digital camera to a Fujifilm Finepix F480 a few months ago after finally parting company with my loyal, reliable previous digital camera which I had owned for 4 years. I was reluctant to swap to a new camera as I knew that over the last few years, technology had advanced and although I wanted a camera which gave me the opportunity to take the highest quality pictures, I also wanted the camera itself to still be simple to use. ~The camera itself~ The Finepix F480 is modern in design in my opinion. It comes in silver or black and is light to hold and compact in size so fits well in the handbag without taking up too much space - a must for us ladies!! It is an 8.2 mega pixel camera and has a sleek and stylish design. For such a compact camera I was impressed with the screen size on the reverse of the camera...

...WOW - This petite pink camera is a must for any young person who is looking for a easy to use digital 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...

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

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

Fujifilm digital camera Q1

Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: no view finder

...I bought this camera for an expedition to Alaska. Knowing Alaska, there is many wildlife and scenary. This camera captured every bit of the scenary and I was able to print out pictures while in Alaska. This 2.1 mega pixal camera is perfect for taking shots of scenary and wildlife. It is small and very easy to use. The digital screen isabout 1" in width and pictures show up very well. It is a camera that suits people who are not into serious photography as it wouldnt be up to their standard of picture quality. The price is just right, ranging from £50 to £60 The camera is comfartable to use and comes in many different colours. This camera is available in non digital. There is many modes to the camera and a flash that brings out the best in everything. A disadvantage is that there is no viewfinder and I feel this may be...

Review of Fujifilm Q1 DIGITAL

Fuji digital heaven

Advantages: Great indoor photo's. Photo's good with auto settings
Disadvantages: Manual settings will take a while to learn for a novice.

...Contents:~ When the camera arrived it was well packaged, and would be unlikely to get damaged if it needed to be delivered by post. On opening the box there seemed to be a multitude of cables, in total 4 cables which seemed a bit daunting even though this is about my 4th digital camera. But under closer inspection 2 cables connect together for charging, 1 is a USB cable and the last one an A/V cable so you can connect the camera directly to the TV. The manual felt fairly thick so was hoping this was going to be in a few languages. Other items in the box wrist strap, registration card, battery, CD-Rom and of course the camera. What was missing, or should i say should be included in the box a camera case and a memory card. Already done that shopping and the camera case and 1Gb XD card had arrived the day before the camera arrived...

Review of Fujifilm FinePix F31fd

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

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...
