Fisher Price Kid Tough Digital Camera - Blue

I bought this camera for my son's 6th birthday and he LOVES it! The pics are a little white washed, it's true- but overall the pros really outweigh the cons: He can manage it all himself (and it's really user friendly), he really loves having the digital display like mommy's and seeing his picture immediately, and the camera is super sturdy and easy for him to use! I ended up getting a SD card so he could save more pics between uploads onto the family computer because once he starts clicking, he can't stop- he has too much fun! The camera stores approx 30 pics- but with a cheap SD card the camera can now hold about 200 before it's memory is full. Well worth it. FYI: the pictures look a little worse on the display (it is only 1.2 mega pixels, afterall) than they do when you upload them onto a computer. We've even printed a few for his first photo album of his own shots and they're really not all that bad. Overall, it's a GREAT camera for little ones and I will be getting one for my nieces and nephews for their birthdays.

We gave our son this camera for his 4th birthday and he enjoys playing with it. He takes lots of pictures around the house and enjoys playing them back on the viewfinder screen. It is amazingly simple -- we taught him to use it in under two minutes. The battery life is OK, not great. Photo quality is definitely mediocre at best, especially in limited light conditions. Outdoors on a sunny day, it's actually not so bad. I'm a bit of a photo snob myself, but I don't mind the graininess of these pictures at all. Why not? Because it's A TOY. It's a way for children to learn a little about taking pictures, and a way for them to enjoy capturing what's in the world around them. I just downloaded 228 pictures from this camera onto my computer and reviewed them with my son. An archetypical shot was a picture of the doorstop that holds open our playroom door. This is the sort of thing a 4-year-old takes a picture of. So I just don't care that it's grainy. He likes that he took a picture, so he's happy, and I frankly don't NEED a high-quality picture of the doorstop, so I'm happy. Only a prodigy would be able to select an interesting subject, create an artful composition and capture a great image as a preschooler. So I think its lack of high resolution is moot. Check customer images to see real pictures taken by my 4-year-old.

This camera works well. It's very durable. It has a good flash. It doesn't eat batteries. It's blue (very important for boys, for some reason...B-). Now the small downsides. The image quality isn't fabulous, but my son doesn't seem put off by that in the least. It needs a fair amount of light to take a good picture, but again, that doesn't seem to bother my 5 year old, and the flash takes care of truly dark places. What is this camera good for. Teaching holding the camera still to take a picture. No camera performs well, shaking around. Why don't little ones get that? Teaches image composition. They start to see what makes a good picture aesthetically (obviously my word...not his) pleasing. Helps them understand that pictures of people usually need to be close up to recognize the person... The long and short of it? My 5 year old loves the camera and it takes the beating he gives it. I'm certain he'll be ready to move up to a real camera in a couple of years, with no concerns, and by then, my 3 year old and 2 year old will be ready for this one!

After spending a lot of time researching digital cameras for little kids, we decided on the Kid Tough camera. The downside to buying a camera rugged enough for a young child is that the resolutions are terrible. At least the KT camera rates at 1 megapixel, unlike several others that have .3 megapixels which is borderline pointless. Because of the lower resolutions, the pictures are comparable to cell photo photos, but that's been perfectly peachy for us so far. There is no question that the camera is rugged - it has already been dropped about 20 times and still works like new. Hooking it up to my Mac or my husband's PC has been very easy (although be aware the creativity software is PC only). Here are the negatives: 1. The flash is way too bright, and it overexposed almost every photo. We fixed this by taking a small square of a paper towel and placing it over the flash with a piece of clear packing tape. It works beautifullly as a diffuser. 2. The delete button is too easy for little kids to hit. In future versions, FP should make it very difficult for little kids to delete pictures. Let mom and dad do the deleting. 3. Would it kill any of these manufacturers to make software Mac compatible? All in all, I would definitely recommend the camera to any parent looking for a rugged camera for their toddler/young elementary aged kids.

I bought this camera as a Christmas gift for my 4 year old son. I had read the other reviews that the picture quality was not "perfect", but that 4x6 prints came out fine, and that the quality was fine for a child...So I was expecting low quality pictures from this camera when it arrived. To our complete disappointment, the quality was FAR WORSE than what we had ever expected. My son began shooting photo's and when I looked at the pictures, I was literally in disbelief of how poor the picture quality was! I was expecting far from perfection, but when I saw the blurry blobs, one after another, and was unable to make out barely anything, even when it was only a few feet away! I was extremely disappointed. Especially for the price that was payed for it...This camera is horrible, even for someone with low expectations.

I'm an amateur photographer with a camera frequently around my neck. My son has had toy cameras for ages so he could walk around taking pictures just like mommy. He's taken pictures with my DSLR and digital point and shoot and completely understands the concept of a camera. As such, I was very excited to get him his very own camera for his 3rd birthday. THE PROS: - This product is very easy for young hands to hold and even easier to operate. - My 3 year old didn't have any problem figuring out how to turn the camera on, take pictures or delete pictures. - We haven't had to replace the batteries yet after months of frequent use. - It is definitely durable! My one year old throws it around all over the place and it's never had a problem operating. - It takes an SD card so you don't have to rely on paltry on-board memory. THE CONS: - 1.3 megapixels. Even my cell phone has a 2 megapixel camera in it. The extra .7 megapixels would've made a huge difference and when even the CHEAPEST digital camera technologies have at least 2 megapixels, there's no reason for a product this expensive to have such a terrible resolution. For me, the camera is virtually worthless. When I go to download the photos he's taken at the end of the week, I can barely recognize any of them. I wanted to be able to print out his photos and hang them up in his room as his artwork, however you just can't get a good photo out of this camera even if the lighting and composition is perfect. This product is all about the camera and it sucks. It doesn't matter to me if it's too tough to break when I can't use any of the pictures taken with it anyway. The other Fisher-Price Kid-Tough Digital Camera doesn't even list the megapixels anywhere in the product information. (I think it may be the older version, which only has .3 megapixels!) I haven't been able to find a preschooler camera with more than the 1.3 megapixels, which again, I find just SHOCKING considering current technology. Might as well just buy a toy camera for less than $5 at Wal-Mart or the dollar store and wait a couple of years until your child is responsible enough to handle a cheap point and shoot. That's what I wish I would've done.

My son loves his camera, and it's very easy to point and shoot but the picture quality is not good, it's like a cell phone camera(although to date I haven't found a kids camera that takes better pictures). It's also dumb that they make boys and girls models of the camera.

After seeing my neighbor's, I had to get it. It is great for those first timers and it lets me have a break from them using (and smudging, loading up my memory card, etc) mine! Honestly, it does not take the greatest pictures, and sometimes in certain light, it really doesn't take well. But they have not been disapointed and you have to remember, it's a kid's camera, not a top of the line one. You can stil make out what pictures are what. My youngest who is 3, can use this camera with no problems, knows how to delete, look at all of her pictures, and turn it off. It is very sturdy, love the rubber sides so it doesn't slip.

ceci n'est pas (qu' ) un jouet : il prend vraiment des photos !! léger, maniable les poignées permettent aux petites mains de ne pas le faire tomber les enfants ont le plaisir de voir leurs réalisations sur le PC, comme les parents

I have just bought the camera for my two year old son. He loved it, and it was easy for him to use. He took a lots of pictures as soon as he got it. He then ejoyed watching them back on the computer screen, he also learnt very quickly to view them on the LCD Screen using the arrows buttons. The quality of the pictures is not so bad, if you consider it is just a toy and I do not want print the photos or at least not all of them. I think it is a perfect toy for two/ tree year old children. You can let them take all the pictures they like without worring they are going to drop the camera and break it. If I gave my two year old a proper camera, I would be lucky if lasted more than two days, after he tried to experiment the gravity force with it.

The one thing you do have to remember is this is a Fisher price camera and fisher price make toys, they are not Sony or Canon. I agree the quality of the pictures is not brilliant but I purchased the camera for my 4 year old boy, before this he played with bits of plastic moulded to look like a camera from the cover of a comic. My little boy thinks it's great, he can snap away, It doesn't matter if it is dropped or water is slashed on it, It even has a flash, I know I would of loved one when I was his age. In conclusion, it's a great Toy camera, quality of pictures is not great, build is superb so If you little one wants a toy camera that actually works then buy this.

Trotz hohem Spaßfaktor und guter Haltbarkeit bin ich nicht zufrieden. Die Bilder sind nicht gut, viel zu dunkel und unklar. Mein Sohn war von den Bildern enttäuscht.

Mattel - Fisher-Price est connu pour leur bonne conception de produits. Ici aussi l'appariel photo numérique est bien conçu : il est facile à l'utilisation, il est joli, très robuste et les photos sont d'une qualité meilleure à ce que l'on pouvait espérer. Il me semble qu'il est particulièrement conseillé aux enfants entre 5 et 8 ans.
