----------
We bought this camera for our 5 year son. His sister has one of the much earlier models.
Initial views
- The Camera grabs their attention straight away. It has some very simple to use buttons which take no time to navigate.
- It really is a point and click which meant that straight away he was taking pictures
- Batteries are included, so we avoided the usual panic-scramble while we tried to get it working
Durability
- The camera has been dropped MANY times, but you'd never know. The rubber handles and edges protect all the delicate bits
- Screen has somehow avoided scratches and a brief wipe with a cloth brings it back to life
Features
- Videos are really fun. My children have recorded several shows/performances with relative ease
- It comes with games which keep them relatively amused. They obviously don't compare to something like a DS etc, but since we're too mean to buy our children one of these, the camera games are going down quite well! ;)
- The robot voice changer gets as much use as the camera now. Tends to get a little annoying for the adults tho....
- Memory space is huge. We've had it a while now and only `archived' off once.
- Batteries last surprising long. The 4 are stored in the grips to the side and only need changing once every 2 weeks, and that's through heavy use and rechargeable batteries.
- Adding backgrounds is very good. It's slightly more complicated, but my son gets a lot of enjoyment out of turning Daddy into a pirate etc. You have the ability to add elements at a time. Eg moustache, eye-patch, etc.
Quality
- You can't really fault the camera considering most of the piccies are taken while moving or whilst being dropped.
- The screen is very clear and you get a very good view of the photos taken
All-in-all, we think this was an excellent purchase and don't regret it at all.

He opened it, half an hour before the nearest village shops closed we discovered that the box says, 'carrying strap, etc However I missed the fact it said slot for memory card!Does not state Memory card not included, which meant his special pictures of his birthday could not be saved!!!! A fast visit to 3 shops and I bought the only memory card within 7 miles! Cost ?8.99p. I missed the small print - the only disappointment with this great gift - could have been a big turn off and ruined his birthday.Come on producers - a great product but make it clear what it has and doesn't.
