Fisher-Price Waterproof Digital Camera Review
The Fisher-Price Kid-Tough Digital Camera is one of the better ideas to hit the market this year. Every time I pull out the camera to take pictures at events, my kids bombard me with requests to be able to take pictures. I am kind of leery to hand over the camera to them for fear of it being dropped or broken accidentally.
Fisher-Price has come up with a solution with these sturdy cameras for little kids. As you can see from the photos, they come in pink and blue for the little boy or girl in your life.
This is not a pretend camera! The Fisher-Price Waterproof Digital Camera is a real working camera. It has two eye viewing for them to be able to look through the view finder with both eyes. And, it has big hand grips and big buttons that makes it easy for them to use.
And, the kids favorite part: It has a nice LCD screen for them to view the pictures they took. I know that is my kids favorite part!
The camera is getting favorable reviews across the Internet. The biggest complaint is that it uses batteries fast, but most digital cameras that take traditional batteries do. Good idea is to go for the rechargeable batteries. It takes 4 AAA batteries. Another complaint is that it doesn't take quality pictures. Well, for a kids camera they should be very impressed with the quality. It is great for 4x6 prints. Anything bigger than that is going to be grainy.
The camera is going for around $49 at Wal-Mart and around $38 at Amazon.com. Here are the links below for the respective places. You may want to visit both because prices change
The Amazon.com version comes in their frustration-free packaging. You can get it in the traditional packaging, but it will cost you about $30 more. No idea why!
Here are some listed on eBay in case you cannot find them in your local stores or are looking for a deal:
