VTech Preschool Learning Kidizoom Plus Pink




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.

Get Ready to Show off Your Child’s Photos
It’s clear right out of the packaging that this camera was designed to stand up to tough play and rough handling. Bright pink rubber grips on each side make it easy for children to grasp the camera with both hands, and two-eye viewing make it easy to conceptualize a photo or a cool video. The camera even comes with two interchangeable faceplates, so your child can pick her favorite look.

Before your child starts taking photos, you’ll need to use a Phillips screwdriver to insert four “AA” batteries in the grips of the camera. While the first few photos are being taken, you may want to set up the VTech Photo Editor on your computer. An intuitive installation wizard makes this process quick and easy. You’ll need Windows 2000 SP3+/XP or newer to use this software. And don’t despair if you’re a Mac user. As long as you have Mac OS X 10.0 or above, you can still use the camera in mass storage mode.

Inspire Creative Development
Six buttons and a navigational joystick on the back of the camera let your child pick a mode and scroll through old photos. Between taking photos, shooting videos, and playing simple games on the 1.8-inch color screen, there’s lots to do.

A built-in flash makes it easier to get well-lit pictures, especially if the subject of the photo is indoors. The flash does, however, often fire if you are trying to take a close-up shot, resulting in very bright, blown-out pictures. Inexperienced photographers may need to be reminded that the camera is not designed to focus on objects that are less than 1.5-feet from the camera. For super-sized fun, you can also link the camera to your television using the included A/V cable and view creative work on the big screen.

With 16MB of internal memory and an SD card slot so that you can add capacity if you need it, this camera lets kids collect lots of images. The included USB cable lets you upload the images to your computer. The VTech photo editor lets you or your child add cool frames to photos, stamp funny hats on people, and distort images. You can even run fun animations that makes the photo look like it is rotating or underwater.

The photo editor interface is easy to use, with big round buttons for kids to click on and drag-and-drop stamps. More advanced artists may be disappointed that there aren’t more ways to creatively control output, but files from the Kidizoom can easily be edited in more advanced programs, too.

What’s in the Box

2 Stars picture quality is terrible
my daughter liked playing with it for awhile but got frustrated with the low picture quality. She is 4. The games on it also bored her after a few tries. She still wants to use my camera because at least the pictures come out. My 1 year old likes to push the buttons, but being 1, his attention isn’t held long.

5 Stars my 2 year old’s first camera
the easy use of this camera and its convenient toddler design made it easy for our 2 year old daughter Opal to join in on the fun. My husband and I are both photographers and so is our 6 year old, now our youngest can join in on the fun!

5 Stars GREAT kids camera, decent pic quality
my toddler LOVES it and its not that bad, if she doesnt move too quickly it takes pretty good pics, BEST indoors, took some photos at the beach and none came out but one, maybe too much sun, but the indoor pics have decent quality.

so far she has dropped it and it still works, the batteries havent been drained and she plays with it constantly,

* it has an automatic shut off which is GREAT!

so far so good!

5 Stars 7yr old loves it!!
My daughter has had a few digital cameras in the past year. The past couple that shes had are just crap digital camera, supposedly had the viewing screen, but you couldn’t make anything out. In my search to find her a good durable “kids” camera I came across the kidizoom. I think its been one of the best purchases of the year!! She absolutley loves it.

The viewing screen, you can actually make out the pictures, and it takes pretty decent pictures. She loves the Video Camera portion as well and the games. All in all we’re very happy with the camera and it seems to be very durable. Only downfall that I can see it that there is no way to charge the camera, it eats up batteries rather quickly. But that’s a minor thing.

5 Stars Great Kids Camera
I researched several different kids cameras, and came to a stop on the V-Tech KiddiZoom Camera. I was impressed by what I read about it and wanted to give it a try.

This camera is fantastic. I was worried just a little bit if my son would be able to use the camera, since it said for ages 3 and up. However, he uses it like a pro. The picture quality is fantastic and it is very durable. It has had a few drops around the house and still works like a charm.

I would highly recommend this product if you have a little one that loves using your expensive digital camera! They will love this one just as much.

5 Stars Vtech – Kidizoom Digital Camera
This is a well designed kid-friendly camera that actually takes decent pictures. I highly recommend this over the Fisher-Price model.

5 Stars Great for kids
My son 6 year old got this camera for Christmas and he loves it. It takes decent pictures and is very easy to use. He has taken it on vacation to Disney and it keeps him away from my digital camera. It does not have a lot of memory space but a cheap 2GB memory card will give them all the space they need. I also chose this camera over the Kid Tough Digital Camera because he is also able to play games on it making it a travel necessity.

4 Stars Great Camera for kids – gets their paws off yours!
I highly recommend this children’s camera. It’s the first one that finally diverted my 2.5yo’s attention off my own camera! A little too sophisticated for him, but he’s still under the recommended age (3y). I anticipate him to grow into it nicely.

1 Star Stopped working after 2 weeks
My son loved this toy for the 2 weeks that it worked. The down button stopped functioning after 2 weeks. Vtech has done nothing but give us the run around about getting it replaced. Way to stand behind your product!

5 Stars Excellent camera for young children
My grandson got this camera for his second birthday and loves taking pictures… sometimes it’s feet but often they are excellent pictures. It was so easy and fun that we also got it for my grandaughter on her third birthday. The two year old loved showing his cousin how to use it! So glad we chose the V-tech product.

3 Stars Could be better
I was very excited about this toy when we ordered it. The first one we got was DOA and would not work at all. It had been a birthday present so this was a hassle. When we finally got it, it was okay. I would still suggest the Vtech over the other brands.

3 Stars Good for fun, not high quality pics
Both 3 and 7 yr old boys like to play with this. Takes still pics well. My 3 yr old doesn’t hold still very long so all of his pics are a blur! Fun, but expensive for a play camera.

5 Stars Favorite gift ever
I got this camera for my daughter’s 4th birthday. She hasn’t put it down since! She says it is her favorite gift ever. She has figured it out pretty much on her own, including the gaming function. Some of her pictures are actually pretty good… I’m recommending it to everyone I know with young kids.

5 Stars Kid’s Camera
My 4 year old grandson loves this camera. He takes it everywhere. It is very durable & easy for him to use. Also plays games on it. Very good value.

1 Star waist of batteries, cant use rechargeable, total disappointment with my daughter
at first we really liked this camera, perfect for a three year old. but after the second day, we realized if she wanted to use it, we would have to replace the batteries every single day. seriously! on their website, they even say you cant use rechargeables. my daughter was so disappointed when i told her i cant buy batteries for her camera everyday. if we could do it all over, i would have gotten her a cheap, regular digital camera, with a rechargeable battery system.

dont buy this unless you like waisting money on batteries
