Toys and Games Reviews of Fisher Price Kid-Tough Digital Camera for Boys
Customer Review: Fun Fun Fun
Summary: 4 Stars
My oldest son has been begging me for a camera for a while now, so I bought a Kid Tough Digital Camera for each of my boys (2 1/2 & 4 1/2) for Christmas and they absolutely love them. They are constantly picking them up and taking pictures with them. They took them to Grandma and Grandpa's house Christmas night and got to take their own pictures of everyone opening gifts. They were thrilled.
The only thing I don't like about the camera is the digital screen is so small and distorted. It's very hard to see what you're taking a picture of and it's difficult to review the pictures. Also, the picture quality is not that great after you download them to the computer.
Overall, however, it's fun for the kids and that's all that matters to me. I didn't purchase the cameras expecting to have perfect photo's. I purchased them because I knew the boys would have fun with them.
Customer Review: teaching kids to see things their way
Summary: 5 Stars
i work in a custom portrait studio and find myself keeping an eye on the kids while their folks look at photos. we watch tv and read etc, but their new favorite thing is to take their own pictures with the kid kamera i got online for them. they LOVE it. i LOVE it/ we have so much fun taking pics of each other, siblings, whatever. it is so awesome to "see through a child's eye". i've had this camera for about 2 months and so far it has been perfect. the only thing is the kids have to stand pretty still when they take the shot and also using the dual eye viewfinder tends to cut off heads. i have them use the lcd screen and stand still until they get what they want. this is usually just fine. i will be recommending it in our newsletter as a must have for all "my" kids this year.thanks fisher price! oh and we've dropped it a couple times and it works just like it did out of the box.Customer Review: Durable camera, use as toy
Summary: 2 Stars
This camera is very durable and seems to be easy to use for a 3 year old. My daughter has fun taking photos with it. However, do not plan on using this camera to print pictures. The image quality is absolutely terrible. The display on the camera is even worse. I was hoping to have my daughter take pictures with it and maybe get one or two pictures that we could print and show as her first attempts. However, we have made this just a simple toy instead of a usable camera for pictures. Expensive toy camera. I would have paid a little more for one that had any quality of picture that matches the technological age :)
Bottom line - if you want a toy that acts like a camera and that is durable, then this should suit your needs, if you want a camera you can use to print photos, by a new state of the art camera for your family and give your older one to your 3 year old.
Customer Review: terrible pics, still she likes it
Summary: 1 Stars
I was one of the "lucky" ones that found one camera on the shelf at WalMart for $54. It was pink and never opened so I was thrilled. Then we opened it up and started taking pictures. The image quality is horrible!!! Low dpi resolution, awful flash, images are blurry and colors are washed out. The only thing in the back lcd screen that looks good is the FP logo and when you look into the viewfinder to snap a pic it is not what gets recorded (head room is cut off). The only plus is that my 4-year-old daughter loves to take pictures with it. We run out of space quickly so I'm always downloading to my Mac (works fine).
Now, having seen this camera in action I would never have bought it for her. VERY disappointed and I'm going to tell FP about it. I would invest my $50 in a cheap or reconditioned real digital camera.
Customer Review: it's just an OK camera
Summary: 3 Stars
It's a cute camera. The design is great for little hands and it seems to be quite durable. My 3 year old son runs around snapping pictures - usually of feet. I say it's just ok because the picture quality is terrible. The flash seems to "wash out" the subject of the picture - and when you look through the double view finder to snap the picture - that's not what you get. I found that you need to look at the LCD display to see what you are actually photographing. The delete button is a little too conveniently located right next to the view finder. But it's fun for him and he really likes going back and watching slide shows of the pictures he took. I wouldn't recommend this - unless you are just getting it for fun because the picture quality is terrible - I'm disappointed in the flash. It's on all the time and it's too bright.
