After buying and returning a VTech Kidizoom and Fisher price kids camera (neither one worked out of the box!) I researched and found this camera. With the exception of charging it for the first time, it is ready to go right out of the box. My 6-year old loves it. It is small, light and gives good pictures. While there are many features, it took only about 2 minutes to teach her how to turn it on, take pictures and review the pictures she's taken. When my son turns 5 I will be getting him his own. A good thing to point out is it is rechargable - no AA or AAA batteries to mess around with. And with kids this is a great money saver.

I will agree with one of the reviews I read which stated that the auto-off feature is a bit bothersome. Once you realize that all you need to do is press any button it turns back on that becomes less of a pain.

I was so excited to get this product for my 2 daughters, ages 5 and 8. Judging by the looks, this camera seems like it's extremely durable. However it is not as durable as I would like. My 5yr old cracked the screen right out of the package. My fault for letting her open, but she was so excited to open, she did it before I could grab it from her. Controls are ok, could be a little easier to use, but then again my intentions were purely for my kids. My kids adore the camera, but I was just a little dissappointed and hoped it would be more rugged. The size and quality of images are as expected and are pretty good.

my 4 yo takes some of the best photos i have ever seen with any camera, and after he has almost broken mine a few times, we found this, it is perfect for him. it is tough enough for him yet it does take some nice pictures that will make good 5x7's.. would say it is great for any kid. i love that it clips on his belt and he can just play and take pictures when he wants. he loves it too and takes great care of it!

We bought this for our 9 year old. He is tired of trying to borrow everyone else's. But we didn't want to spend too much, and so looked for something cheap. He loves it! The camera is GREAT. He clipped it on to his pants has had it there ever since. He even tries to sleep with it. It simple enough that he had it all figured out in less than 2 days. He takes picuters and videos all the time. The upload to the computer is easy as well.

I love this little camera! I just clip it to my belt loop as I head out the door. Easy to use and I don;t worry about dropping it or getting it a might bit wet. Good quality construction and great photos! I'd recommend this camera to any outdoor enthusiast and it's good for anyone that needs a camera to take with you everywhere!
