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...

Kodak DX 3500 and Camera Dock

Advantages: Ease of use, picture quality, looks
Disadvantages: none

...the picture on a TV Picture quality is great with good colour balance. The 3x Digital zoom works but with reduced picture quality, better to go for an optional 4x zoom lens. There are wide angle lenses available, they fit on the camera lens via a converter. The standard lens has a 38mm / F4.5 focal length. When you have taken your pictures slot the camera onto the Camera Dock press a button and the pictures, via the USB, will transfer to your computer. The DX 3500 comes with software/drivers on CD. The software lets you view the pictures, zoom rotate etc. The camera also appears as a device on the computer so you can Copy and Paste pictures direct from the cameras memory. If you have a memory card in the camera you can select which picture you would like to be printed via Kodak, also an option in camera. The manual in the box...

Kodak CX4300 Digital camera.

Advantages: Light-weight, compact and easy to use.
Disadvantages: You will need to get regargable batteries for this camera.

...On first impressions this is a very sleek and stylish looking digital camera, that shouts out quality and good results, it is not only light-weight but also easy to use. The whole package includes: the camera, 2 AA kodak batteries, software for computer, usb cord to plug into your camera and computer for easy transfer of pictures, a tv-out lead to plug into your tv so you can review pictures on it a very good idea, and handy for relatives that don't have pc, and of course,easy to read manuals and warranty information.

I took about 20 pics the first time and the batteries went flat on me, so I recommend...

Kodak M853 Red digital camera

Advantages: Great looks, brilliant quality of images, various settings,
Disadvantages: Could have more internal memory.

...This camera is stylish, lightweight and economical. I paid £80.00 for this camera at Currys and I believe it has been worth every penny so far. The fact it has 8.2 megapixels means that you can zoom in on images and edit them very effectively. The front of the camera, in myopinion, looks like it's rival: the sony cybershot. The cybershot doesn't have as many Megapixels, and therefore doesn't produce as good quality images as this does. I would add also that the screen is fantastic for viewing images instantly after they have been taken, and the camera is also easy to charge; a mains charger is provided in the box. Kodak really have impressed me with all the different settings on the simple wheel on the top of the camera. Examples include: -Auto: Used for general picture taking -Digital image stabilization: Makes sure that...

Kodak/Nikon collaboration Kodak DCS 620 DSLR

Advantages: Awesome images, full range of features, Nikon F5 body, full control of camera settings
Disadvantages: Heavy and large, awkward for some users, must learn controls for full advantage

...How can you go wrong with a digital camera based on a Kodak/Nikon collaboration? This is not for point and shoot amateurs. This is for high end amateurs and professionals. It has all the features of the legendary Nikon F5 SLR film camera in a Kodak digital format. There's a lot to learn to use this camera to it's full potential, and it's worth it. Multiple recording media use, multiple recording formats, computer interfacing, and a fully customizeable user interface. You have both the digital menus and camera button functions and settings to learn. Be prepared to practice and experiment. Being digital, you can trash what you don't like. The three key words to mastering this camera are the same words for mastering anything. Practice, practice, practice. This not a camera for kids or people who tire easily. It's big, it's heavy, it...

Owners opinion of the Kodak DX3600 digital camera

Advantages: Easy of use, reliability, strength, and picture transfer.
Disadvantages: Battery life can be a bit short and may suffer from residual charge memory which degrades battery life and necessitates complete discharge before the batteries can be fully re-charged

...I got a Kodak DX3600 camera November 2002 at our local Apollo outlet for just over 200 quid (which included the DX/DC docking station) because it fitted my requirements and was the best value for money I?d seen at the time. However, these prices may now be few and far between due to Kodak selling the Docking Stations separately for 59 quid on top of the usual asking price of 245 quid. Better deals are available and I?ve seen some on Amazon, which I would recommend, and Ebay if that?s your scene which seems to be around the 130 mark. If you just want to look then most of the main highstreet stores stock it so go get a feel. Running and designing websites (the primary reason for the purchase) has more than a little trouble associated with it, least of which being copyright. It can be an explosive minefield for images and themes...

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...
