VTech KidiZoom Duo Camera FX Kids Digital Dual Camera, Blue

My 3.5year old grandson spent hours playing with this camera( and ignoring all the other gifts), after receiving it on Christmas Day...He loved it...perfect blend of challenge and ease of use, with the large handles.The novelty did not wear off even a week later..

On a family vacation with my relatives, one of my cousins brought along this fantastic camera for their kids. My son absolutely loved playing with it during the trip, so we decided to get one for him once we returned home, and I must say, he is overjoyed with it! Previously, we had purchased a toy camera for him, but the picture quality was quite disappointing. However, this new camera is a game-changer! The picture quality is outstanding, far surpassing our expectations. Moreover, it comes with various games that keep him entertained and engaged, which is a huge plus. We truly appreciate how the camera is designed for young kids; it's big enough for him to hold comfortably and incredibly durable for a six-year-old. Despite the occasional drops, it remains sturdy and its performance hasn't been affected at all. It's undoubtedly a great deal, and we are so glad we made this purchase!

I bought this for my 5 year olds since I noticed they like taking pictures with their tablets, but I don't always want them carrying a tablet around when we visit places. My kids love their cameras (purchased a pink and blue so they could tell whose camera was whose)! It's pretty sturdy if it drops from a foot or two height, though I don't recommend actually doing that on purpose. Not sure how it would hold out if it's higher than a couple feet, but the camera is pretty thick. If anything comes off, it's usually thr battery cover (there's a cover to the area with the batteries; the batteries are held in place with another cover underneath the first cover, which can be screwed into place so no batteries become dislodged). My kids find it easy to operate too, and it's fun seeing the pictures they take, which are a decent resolution. The quality is nothing like the cameras on the modern phone, but it's good enough for a kid. Flash is adjustable too (on, off, auto), and there is sound volume/control. Keep in mind, it does NOT come with a neck strap but rather 1 wrist strap. I purchased a neck strap seperately, but the part where you would loop it onto the camera is very small and I had to use a toothpick to push it through the holes. There are some fun filters that my kids like to use and there is an option to take videos with it. However, deleting photos can be tedious as there's no grid view; you have to scroll through each photo individually and manually delete each one which can be tedious and time consuming (arrow, delete button, confirm, rinse and repeat). If your kid likes taking dozens of photos at a time, I suggest checking their pictures often. It is a bit heavy for small kids to carry around, and if you put it in a purse or backpack, you will definitely notice/feel the weight. It kind of feels like carrying a very large Russell potato around (heavy and bulky), which is another reason I got them neck straps. Camera can connect to a computer so the pictures taken can be downloaded, saved, and shared, but only through a computer. No need to worry about the added cost of buying or wasting some kind of special poloroid paper since that's not an option anyway. Overall, it's a good first/kid's camera and everyone seems happy with the purchase.

With new batteries installed, the camera worked well at first. However, after an hour or so, we were not able to switch on the camera despite putting in new batteries. There may be a problem with the circuit boards internally. Beware!
