Bought for a 3 year old who was very familiar with how real “adult” digital cameras worked. We thought this would be a good alternative that she would enjoy and limit the risk of breaking a real camera. The screen resolution and picture quality are so poor that the child immediately said that the camera “was broken” and didn’t want to use it. It is a waste of $. Can’t return it because it comes in a hard plastic case that you must cut open. I would suggest buying a cheap “adult” digital camera instead of this one and just hoping that it doesn’t break. This product is useless.

I’m disappointed with this toy. It doesn’t work. I received it and put the batteries but doesn’t work.

I purchased this camera for my almost 5 year old niece for Christmas. I placed the requried 4 AA batteries and within approximately 1 hour the batteries had already depleted.

This is a TOY. It takes pictures, but they are completely unusable. Pictures are blurry. Flash doesn’t come on when it should. This camera is cute and durable and has a couple of games and fun add-ons to pictures. However, I will not recommend this to anyone. I bought this camera for my daughter and she was so disappointed that her pictures turned out blurry and out-of-focus. She likes to scrapbook with me and her pictures were totally unusable. She uses my camera and is pretty good at taking pictures, so it wasn’t her. When I emailed vtech regarding this they informed me that you have to be very very still while taking a photo. What kid is going to be able to do this without a tripod? What adult can? My advice is to spend a little more to buy your child a real digital camera. It may not be as kid-friendly, but if your child is anything like mine, they pick up on electronics and how to use them very quickly. Also, the booklet states that if the batteries die or if the they are removed, you will lose all your photos! It also states not to use rechargeables. To end…PLEASE don’t buy this; you will be disappointed!

We bought this camera for my 3 1/2 year old daughter for Christmas. She was so happy and couldn’t wait to use it, because she is always trying to take pictures with Mommy’s camera. I opened the packaging Christmas morning and put in new batteries – it didn’t work. I tried another set of batteries – it didn’t work. Tried the reset button – still didn’t work. We tried the batteries upside down, didn’t work. Maybe we have a lemon. I’m returning it this week and will try another, if it is OK I’ll change my review.
