This seems to be the hot camera for our young girls.
The Good: It is a real digital camera which takes photos and videos.
The Bad: There are lots of navigational buttons that may confuse younger photographers.
In a Nutshell: This durable camera is a fun way to inspire creativity for ages 3 and up. It requires 4 AA Batteries and a computer with Windows 2000 or newer needed for some effects.
From Amazon: "Rugged and easy to use, the Vtech Kidizoom Digital Camera is ready to document all your child's adventures. With two-eye viewing, grips designed to fit in little hands, and a built-in flash, this real digital camera can also shoot video. It also includes simple-to-use photo editing software so kids aged three and up can add creative touches to their images."
