Customer Reviews

Why does "For Kids" have to mean "Piece of Junk"?
First I will admit that my 4yo daughter loves this camera. The smile on her face while she's taking pictures is worth the price to me. But seriously, this camera is a piece of junk. The picture quality is so bad. I just don't understand it. It's like Fisher Price figured "hey, it's for kids, so why bother making it decent". Shame on them and shame on all those who go along with it posting comments like "what do you want for a kids camera".

I don't have unrealistic expectations and am not expecting a kids camera to take the same quality photographs as my Nikon D200. I expect less when I pay less. But this thing isn't that cheap. For nearly 1/2 the price you can get a Kodak with 5mp and zoom that will take much, much,...much better pictures. So where's the extra cost coming from? Don't tell me the durable camera body. Really folks, this is a $10 digital camera in a $90 plastic and rubber case.

Hard to use, inferior product that your kids will love.
My five year old loves to take pictures with our "grownup" camera and, amazingly, sometimes the pictures come out really well. Because of that, her grandmother bought her this camera since it seemed like it would be easier to use and more durable. You could probably drop this thing from the Space Shuttle and it would survive the impact, but it produces such awful pictures that it's not worth saving any of the photos taken with it.

Of course the kids love this camera because they don't know any better and it is, admittedly, a lot of fun to play around with but it is honestly one of the most disappointing toys I have ever seen. I would hate to reward Fisher Price for producing something that, while fun, is such a piece of junk otherwise.

Super Fun & Sturdy Kids Camera
My daughter received this camera for her fifth birthday and loves it. At her party, all the other kids were clamoring to use it. It is colorful, easy to hold, and makes fun sounds with each function. The resolution of the photos is low, but most of these photos aren't keepers anyway (especially the ones of me at the computer in my pajamas). It is very sturdy and easy to use and understand. According to my research, this seems to be the best "kids" camera currently on the market.
