Fisher-Price Kid-Tough Waterproof Digital Camera Blue
 | Average Customer Rating: Recommend The award-winning and best-selling Kid-Tough Digital Camera was the first preschool digital camera tough enough to stand up to rough preschooler use and easy enough to use. And it just got even tougher-- tough enough to stand up to water! New, enhanced "kid-tough" styling means this camera is now waterproof. Plus, it maintains all its favorite features, like an easy-to-use format and simple buttons. The 1.5" color LCD preview screen allows… Product details and pricing info |

- Fisher-Price Fun!
- Would you give a child a camera to play with on their own? Now you can. Fisher-Price has been making children's toys since 1930 and this is truly a wonderful toy for a youngster. This is very durable and your child can drop this camera over and over again without fear of breaking it (within reason, of course. I can't say you can drop it off the roof!). It will survive laying in the wet grass or even under 3 feet of water (for no more than 30 minutes they say). It's the simplicity that your kid will love. The viewfinder is actually `two-eye viewing' like those old 3-D viewers from the sixties. Your child can just push their face right into the camera and easily learn what makes a good picture. The controls are easy and you'll probably find your child shooting silly picture after silly picture until they learn which shots are their favorites. The 1.5" color LCD screen shows your child exactly what the picture looks like - instant gratification! Being smaller, you might have to teach your child to aim higher to get a complete photo. It has a 64 MB built in memory for up to about 500 photos. If you want 4" X 6" quality photos, you can set the resolution for your child giving about 200 high quality photos. After your child has dropped, kicked, splashed and finished up taking photos, you can take over. You can easily download them to your computer, where you can crop them for your kid. After that, you'll be the one ordering the prints. This is a keeper!

- My two year old loves it
- This turned out to be one of the best toy purchases I've made. My two year old son doesn't have a lot of interest in "toys"; instead he prefers the real (and often breakable) thing. Here we have the best of both worlds: a working digital camera that's stood up to the best my son can do. It's the most fun when there are two kids: they can run around taking pictures of each other going "Say cheese!" It's fun to look at the pictures and send them to the grandparents.
It almost goes without saying the picture quality is poor, however if you read the manual you can increase the quality pretty easily. Copying pictures off the camera is easy: just plug a USB cable into the camera and your computer (no extra software needed). Battery life has also proven to be good. I've had it about four months and only changed batteries once.
The only minor complaint I have: the button to take pictures is on the front which is a little awkward for small hands. - 2008-09-12, 11 of 11 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Poory built
- I'm disappointed with Fisher Price.
I was expecting a lot more from a company like Fisher Price.
I bought one of these cameras for my 3yo kid's birthday party.
The first one wasn't shooting pictures properly. The images were too dark, even during the day.
So I returned and got the second one. It was worse. It didn't even turn on.
I went through 2 sets of batteries just to be sure it wasn't the batteries.
Kudos to Amazon for its excellent customer service and making returns of defective items a breeze. - 2008-08-07, 3 of 5 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great purchase!!!
- With a working flash, a double view finder, a larger (than the older version) display, easy to work controls to scroll, delete and turn on and off, it's approx. 60 picture internal memory, the durability and attractive look for a toddler; there's only one more thing that you could ask for and that's a bit better picture quality. The pros FAR outweigh the con. To me, it was just a bit pricey, but I think we have gotten what our money paid for! My 3 1/2 year old son LOVES this, and out of everything it has already become his favorite gift, the strap never leaving his wrist! He LOVES seeing his pictures, and taking pictures of everything, including little piggy-toes, the wall, or the dog's tail! LOL.
This is a big hit in our home.... Though where I bought my new version of this item, it was $[...], so shop around for a good price. :) - 2007-12-25, 8 of 8 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Kids Digital Camera
- My son loves to take pictures. This was perfect for him. However,
Don't expect to get good picture quality. It's horrible! - 2007-02-01, 3 of 4 people found this review helpful, Rated:
