What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Durable, easy way for kids to experience photography The Bad: May seem bulky in little hands In a Nutshell: This Fisher-Price camera really is Kid Tough. At a Glance Ages: 3 and up Requires: Four AAA batteries

Easy to Start Taking Pictures
An adult will need to use a screwdriver to install the four AAA batteries before kids get their hands on this camera. With a textured button on the front that releases the shutter and large buttons on the back that let little hands turn the camera on and off, browse through pictures and delete images, using this camera is so easy it doesn't need to come with instructions.

The fun, brightly colored body helps distinguish this camera from boring adult models, making it an instant favorite.

Kid-Friendly Technology
Kids can pick between using the live view on a 1.5-inch color LCD preview screen or looking through the two-eye viewer when taking pictures. The preview screen also lets kids look at pictures the moment after they take them. With a built-in flash that automatically illuminates darkened scenes, and a shutter noise that makes it easy to know when a picture has been taken, kids are sure to be delighted by their images.

The 64 MB built-in memory stores up to 500 pictures and eliminates the need for handling fragile and expensive memory cards. Two image resolution settings, 0.3 and 1.3 interpolated mega pixels, let kids take plenty of pictures and make 4 x 6-inch prints.

Fun, Durable Way to Encourage Creativity
With its big rubberized grips and sturdy construction, we found this camera lived up to its incredibly durable reputation. Able to easily withstand being dropped again and again and waterproof for 30 minutes in up to three feet of water, this camera can handle the rough reality of active play.

The heavy-duty construction that makes this camera so durable can also make it seem somewhat bulky for little hands, but this won't prevent kids from wanting to take it on all their adventures.

Older children and adults may be disappointed by the image quality, but higher resolutions would allow less pictures to be stored and decrease the amount of fun children have with this camera. Kids quickly find that there's plenty of resolution for exercising creative urges and documenting the wonders of everyday life.

The camera comes with a USB cable so pictures can be downloaded quickly and easily for editing and viewing. It is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Apple Mac OSX, Apple Mac OS9 and requires a USB port 1.1 or higher for computer connectivity.

My kids love this camera. It's fun for me, as well, because the kids take the funniest pictures. The camera is easy to use and durable and holds over 300 pictures. My only complaint is the battery life. It takes 4 AAA's and they die in a day. Rechargeables are the only way to go and it should be included with the camera. It would also be nice to be able to turn the display OFF to save battery life since there is an optical view finder. If you buy this, buy stock in Duracell at the same time.

The camera is really cute. A little bulky, but our daughter seems to have no problem holding it to take pictures. It was very very simple to show her how to use all of the functions. So far its seems to be durable. My ONLY complaint is the picture quality. It is really bad. Most cell phones take better pictures. The photos are very grainy. I guess for a 5 year old it is okay and is good for her first real camera. One other note, the flash will not turn off, you must use the flash with every picture taken. Would I buy it over again? Yes, it is worth $40 to see how often she uses it before buying her a more expensive camera.

I don't think the pictures are that great but for a small child it is OK. The pics are alittle fuzzy at times but overall for the price you can't beat it.

This camera is great for kids who love to take pictures. My 5yr old granddaughter loves it. She takes pictures all the time. We got it at a great price and the shipping was very quick. I would highly recommend this camera because it is easy to use and durable.

My daughter received the camera for Christmas! She loves it! She hasn't learned the correct way to take pictures. The button to take pictures is in the front so she turns it around and puts the lens in her eyes. We show her how to take the pictures but she goes back to turning the camera around and facing it towards herself. I think it would be better if the button were on top so the children know to face it the right way when taking pictures. Overall, a great buy!
