Barbie Digital Camera

Probably not as hi tech as the newer digital cameras. This one does an okay job for the megapixels it has to work with. The problem is because it has only two buttons on top, you have to toggle through the button to get to delete photos, etc. IT's a little too complicated for my 5 year old (the age group who likes barbies). It's built well though and comes with the instructions and cables. SO, if you can explain how to use it to your child and they understand, it's a good product.

We bought this camera since it was less expensive than other digital cameras that have a theme like Tinkerbell or Hannah Montana. Its nice and not too small and our daughter likes to take pictures. The only drawback is that there is no lcd preview screen on the back so she is not sure whether or not its a toy or real. We haven't downloaded her pics yet but I am sure that won't be a problem. I would opt for the slightly more expensive version that has the lcd display.

We bought this for my 10 year old daughter, since she showed an interest in taking pictures. We did a lot of research and after this camera went on sale for $25, we decided to give it a shot. Software was very easy for me to install, and downloading pics was a snap. No, the pictures aren't top quality, some come out blurry and dark, but it takes fairly good pictures outside (no flash). Once we set up our old computer for the kids, I'm sure she is going to love taking pictures and dowloading them herself. And if it is something she sticks with, there will definitely be an upgrade next Christmas (something w/ a flash and lcd screen). But after researching and looking around, this seems to be the best digital camera for kids for the price. Not to mention how cute it is for girls :)

This is a waste of money. your basically buying a piece of plastic shaped as a camera. The software won't work. my daughter loved it until she found out she won't ever be able to see the pictures she took.

This is the second kid's camera I have purchased for my 6 yr. old daughter and we have yet to get a kid's camera that even works. The first one was a Disney princess camera from Wal-Mart that didn't work at all so it was returned. I saw this one in a Fingerhut catalog and at the last minute I ordered it for Christmas. Big disappointment! She opened it and wanted to start using it right away. But from the second I removed it from the clear plastic casing I was shocked by how cheaply made and flimsy this camera was. I paid $50.00 for something that felt like it came from a 10 cent gum-ball machine. I reluctantly put the batteries in it just to see what would happen...nothing happened. No power what-so-ever! So that camera is going back to Fingerhut for a refund. I believe I'm done with trying to find a working "kid friendly" camera. My daughter has had 2 major disappointments already so I'll just get a regular digital camera for her and be done with it. You can find the older ones with smaller memories pretty cheap now. That's what I would suggest for anyone who wants to get their child a camera. Don't bother with the kid versions.

I ordered this camera for my 6 year old's Santa gift. I did not want her using my expensive camera. It would not take any pictures unless in bright natural light. When I went to install it on my computer it had the wrong software. I downloaded the software to find out that this camera was defective. Etoys replaced it at no cost, but the next one still wouldn't work with my computer or my neighbor's computer (and he's a computer tech.)

This purchase was nothing but frustrating. Spend the extra $[...]bucks and get a better camera. This one isn't worth $[...].
