we gave this to my son last year for christmas when he turned three. he was very happy with it but was on to other things. now, past three and a half years old, he loves it. he takes it with him and loves taking pictures of everything (yes, there was one of mommy on the toilet..i could have sworn i locked that door...that i promptly deleted). he also loves the games. there is tic tac toe, a memory game, and a match up game. the system is very intuitive, as he has no problem navigating here to there. he also feels good about himself when he matches correctly or takes a picture he thinks is great. it also is very durable. it has fallen several times with no problems. i don't even worry about it. battery life is good. he plays with his alot and we have had to change the batteries three times. it also has the wonderful feature of turning itself off when it is left on. we have also used the cable that connects the camera to the tv. my son enjoyed seeing the videos and pictures on the big screen.

You won't go wrong on this one. Sep 20, 2008
We bought this camera for our 7 year old son's birthday in early August. More than a month later, it is one of his most favorite "toys". Much more than a toy, really. He's been learning how to compose pictures...and how to look at the world as a photographer would. The camera works, though don't expect a lot resolution wise. It seems quite durable, the controls are intuitive for kids, and there is some fun stuff on the camera that he plays with all the time. He learned to use the camera on his own...at least he was faster at figuring it out than his parents were! This is one of the few times I would rate a toy at this level. The designers should get a bonus.

Your child will love it. Sep 18, 2008
nice camera,your child will love it. I gave it to my grandson for his 3rd birthday. He runs around taking pictures of everyone's legs since he will not let go of the camera to let us show him how to use it.

One of the best gifts ever... Jul 23, 2008
I bought this camera after comparing ratings on other children's digital cameras. It's too bad that nobody seems to be putting a kid-proof case onto a better camera; I actually considered buying a used adult model, figuring that the photo quality would be much better for the same money--but then considered that my kids would likely demolish the thing with a single drop.

The VTech was given to my daughter for her 6th birthday a month ago, and has been in her hands almost constantly ever since, while privileged siblings have been allowed short periods of use when she felt particularly generous (they're begging for one of their own in the meantime). To be honest, I suspect she likes the games as much as the camera function, but she still uses the camera very frequently. There are a selection of fun "stamps" that can be added to the photos as they're taken--a favorite is the pig nose.

Battery life is amazing: I outfitted it with rechargeable AA's and have only had to charge them once a week or so. Remember that she has hardly put the thing down!

Ditto what other reviewers have said about the SD card used as the default for storage. Buy one, or (as I did) use the dinky one that came with your own camera--the advantage of low-res is that pics take hardly any disk space.

Considering the low resolution of the photos (big enough for an e-mail but little else) they are surprisingly clear. The flash is very helpful, given my long years of experience with kids taking photos without flash. Videos are fun to take and watch on the camera screen, but pretty bad quality when watched on a TV screen. The AV cable is included, along with a USB cable.

Durability seems excellent; I'm sure it's been dropped a number of times, and the screen is getting scratched somewhat, but otherwise no problems.

We have not yet used the software that came with the camera; thus far she's content to just take photos and then delete them and take more.

Overall, I'd highly recommend this camera, at least until somebody wakes up and decides to make one that will take "real" photos and passable video.

Best Children's Digital Camera Jul 21, 2008
My daughter received two digital cameras for her birthday. Both were the two that I had researched and found to be decent. This one and the Fisher Price one. The FP is garbage.. it is difficult to use and the screen resolution is awful! This Vtech one is far more durable and easy to use and takes beautiful pictures by comparison. The FP one the child has to stay absolutely still to take the picture otherwise it blurs, but this one takes pictures of moving objects aswell. Of course it is a childrens camera so it is not pristine quality but it is the best camera for a pre-schooler by far! It also has cute face covers and fun software and camera case. Great gift!
