well this camera is very durable and easy for kids to use. my kids took it out of the box and started to ply with it. They were able to quickly figure out it plays games, takes videos, takes pictures and edits pictures without a PC. My older daughter even figured out how to edit the pics and add a princess crown to her dad's head.
The educational value leaves much to be desired. But the functionality is great for the budding photog. my daughter loves taking pictures and can use this with her innotab and so it works well. But if your kid is not a video and picture buff then save your cash. I am sure it is better to give them a 20$ older generation digital camera or give them your old camera that you ended up breaking etc! Overall- it is okay - not amazing but takes pretty good pics and videos for a kids camera.
We purchased this for my 3 year old who kept playing with his sister's camera! It is well liked and he likes that he can take photos plus videos! He also enjoys playing the games!
My grandson loves his first new camera. I was very impressed with the features and durable construction of the body. It is not only constructed well but it is fun looking. I would definitely recommend this camera. Although my grandson is only fours years old, he will have this camera for many years to come. My daughter bought one for her daughter my granddaughter. They are both budding photographer!
