Takes terrible pictures
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
All other virtues are of little value when you have a camera that takes terrible pictures! Who cares how easy to use or durable the thing is if you can’t use it for the primary intended use of taking pictures! Don’t waste your money.
Short lived enjoyment

Purchased two…they worked for a few days and would not turn on. Do not buy!
Excellent camera for kids!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is an excellent gift for children… they learn how to take pictures using their own camera.
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
After the first 3 weeks, the camera wouldn’t turn on. So, we replaced the batteries several times, and nothing! So, I contacted Amazon, and back it went! We received the new camera, and all was fine until just recently (6 mos later). Same problem!!!! Now it’s too old, no returns accepted.

This is such a great idea! My DD loves this camera…unfortunately the camera doesn’t love her
Camera has a pretty large memory – quality is pretty poor, however can keep a little one busy for a long time! Be prepared to replace batteries regularly with use, as it tends to eat them up! Unfortunately the quality is not made to last a long time. Not sure it is worth the $$ just to be used a few short months.
Great camera if you find it on sale

My thoughts:
*Buttons are easy to use but not too easy. It’s hard for a kid to accidentally turn it on (you have to hold down two buttons at the same time) or accidentally delete pictures (you have to confirm a delete by pushing the delete button a second time. It can be a little hard to find the shutter. Sometimes I have to guide my daughter’s finger to it.
*The picture quality is low but it’s good enough. Really what kids want is to look at their pictures on the little LCD screen and the picture quality (and size of the screen) is perfectly fine for that. The quality of the pictures is also good enough to look at on a computer. We haven’t printed any and likely won’t waste the money (because the size of the picture would look like garbage), but my daughter has grown up in the era of digital photography and we don’t even print 99% of our own photos. The only people we print photos for anymore are computer illiterate grandparents. Looking at pictures on the computer is normal for her and it makes her happy. Every now and then, she accidentally shoots a picture good enough for me to use on facebook. It’s the whole infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of typewriters thing.
*The image on the view finder doesn’t match what’s being photographed but the image on the LCD screen does. The view finder just shows the top half. Most kids take pictures haphazardly and it doesn’t matter, but it’s annoying when you’re actually trying to teach a kid about photo composition. We taught her to size up her photos using the LCD screen. Most of the time she takes pictures of people’s belts instead of their faces, but again, an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of typewriters.
*It eats through batteries like no tomorrow. Buy a charger and rechargeable batteries right away. We found that we needed to replace the batteries almost after every use.
*I paid about $40 for it and I hemmed and hawed over whether that was a fair price until my mother pointed out to me that when I was a kid, I had a polaroid instant camera (yea instant gratification!!!) and while the camera was cheaper, the film was $8 per package. So when I took pictures of people’s belt buckles, it grated on her nerves. The expense of the film prevented her from buying more film which prevented me from using this camera. If you buy this camera and rechargeable batteries, you’re done. The knowledge that the initial expenditure is going to be it means I pull this camera out regularly and encourage my daughter to use it. I still wouldn’t have paid $60 for it, but for $40 considering it’s digital, it’s a fair deal.

My 7 year old grandaughter was thrilled with her camera – very easy to use. Fun to have her very own camera. Very durable.
Not much bang for the buck…

I bought this item for my little one’s 3rd birthday by mistake. It wasn’t until after my child opened it and was playing with it that I realized that it didn’t play any games or have any other cool functions, as the model that I had INTENDED to buy does. The only thing it does is shoot pictures and is water resistant. I was especially unimpressed with the quality of the images on the viewfinder.
For the price I paid for it, I didn’t feel like I was getting much product for my money. After all, for only five bucks more, I could get another model by vTech that shoots pictures, has an SD card slot for additional memory, in-camera photo editing, shoots movies, can have sounds clips added to photo files, and has three fun preschool games!
I couldn’t get the batteries out of this Fisher Price model and put it back into its packaging to return to the store fast enough! For the lack of features on this camera, it really should be in a lower price point.
camera was a hit

My niece loved the camera. Six months later and it still works. She is 5 and always wants to take pictures, now she can.
It is fun for a couple of hours…

…and then it stops working. After a few hours with fresh batteries that camera stops working and can not be turned on. This is our second camera in the last week and both of them are doing the same thing. I do not recommend this camera.
The example of pictures that are shown are not accurate. The picture quality is much poorer.
The Vtech seems to be getting better reviews
a waste of $

I bought this for my daughter and although she was excited to get it it never worked properly. The camera kept shutting down. it wouldn’t take the photos, the button is difficult to push for a little one. After re-reading the directions and replacing batteries multiple times, we gave up. Felt like I wasted $50.
