A Great Little Camera

(5 out of 5) by J. Gower on Nov 26, 2008
We bought this camera for our 6 year old son after being disappointed with the quality of the Fisher-Price Digital Camera. We are very happy with our purchase. The resolution of the photos is very good and my son loves that he can shoot video, too. I would definitely recommend this camera to others.

More than I expected. This camera is perfect as my 2yr. old is constantly wanting to play and hang on daddy I can clip this thing to my belt when holding him and it takes great pictures and video. Up to 2gig sd card. I love it so far . Feels like a toy but is super cool. Great Buy!!

Not bad for a bean...

(4 out of 5) by L. Thomas on Aug 3, 2008 (Ravensdale, WA)
Overall, I am pleased with the bean camera. It is very lightweight, and the clip is great for keeping it close at hand when you want it. It has just enough picture options to make it enjoyable, and even the video mode is good. I think it's a good camera for the price, and will probably buy another one for my daughter.

Nice Camera!

(5 out of 5) by Mr. Robert A. Jodoin Sr. on Apr 16, 2009
This is a very nice camera for a child. If you learn how to properly use this camera, you should have no problems at all. Everything should work out well and benefit you like a well-oiled machine if you read all the instructions and learn how to use this camera right.

It does everything it claims...and does it well!

(4 out of 5) by Trakehner on Apr 1, 2009 (Ol' Virginy USA)
I bought one of these to bring along when riding horses. It gets banged around, in dusty areas and generally is treated pretty roughly...and it still keeps working. The still photos are good and there's little lag between the shutter button and the picture being shot. The movies are also pretty darn good.

Complaints...the video screen is pretty washed out when it's really sunny and it's coming from behind you...but I have the same complaint with any camera/camcorder without a viewfinder.

All in all, I'm very pleased, the camera has a solid feel and it works as advertised. Ultimately, it's a digital disposable camera with a design to help you hold onto it when things "get interesting"...the carabiner ring sure keeps it in hand.

I don't consider it a kid camera though...there are simpler cameras out there for kids, it's more of a bring along snapshot/memory camera.
