Fisher Price Kid-Tough Digital Camera for Boys
Preschoolers can learn the art of photography with this digital camera designed especially for them. With a 1.3" color LCD, preview screen, easy navigation menu, and wrist strap, it's meant to stand up to typical rough preschooler use.
Kids can instantly see the picture they've taken on the LCD screen or they can delete previous shots. It features dual handle grips ergonomically designed for little hands and two-eye viewing that makes looking through the viewfinder a breeze.
Connected Photographer's evaluation
This little beast doesn't take particularly good pictures, but it can withstand being eaten by a classroom of little monsters. It takes only 640x480 pictures, but. really, just how high a resolution do you need to take a picture of snot? At least you're not paying for the film! It's a wonder my parents survived my childhood, that's all I'm sayin'.
Seriously, though, this isn't a great camera. It isn't even a good camera. But it takes pictures and will survive at least a month (ok, maybe a week). If your kid's a horror and, yet, you still want to get him or her a camera, this is a good, if somewhat pricey choice.
Fisher Price Kid-Tough Digital Camera for Boys, has a retail price of $69.99. We give Fisher Price Kid-Tough Digital Camera for Boys a rating of 3 out of 5.
