Review & Description
VTech's Kidizoom Plus Camera makes it possible for children as young as three years old to take and even edit their own digital pictures. The camera's rugged, rubber-grip is designed to withstand heavy use, and children will find the colorful and clearly marked push-buttons easy to manipulate. The camera comes with editing software as well as built-in games for added amusement. Children can use the camera's screen to watch their own movies or customized slideshows, or they can use the included TV or PC connector cables for big-screen excitement.

 The Kidizoom is a working digital camera designed just for children. |
 The Kidizoom features a vibrant, colorful design that is both durable and easy to use. (shown in purple)View larger. |
Featuring large pink rubber grips on either side, the Kidizoom Plus won't slide or slip, whether it is in your child's hands or on a tabletop. Clearly labeled orange buttons make it easier for kids to understand the camera's various functions (e.g. the zoom-in button features a large tree, while the zoom-out button features a smaller tree). The photo editing software is easy to install and requires only very basic mouse/computer skills and a willingness to experiment.
While an adult should assist in replacing the four AA batteries or connecting to TV or PC, the Kidizoom ensures that taking high-resolution pictures and making movies will be a snap for children three years and up.
A Child's Very First Photos
Getting started with the Kidizoom is easy. Kids will quickly identify the basic functions, such as the power button and shutter button. Switching from photo to video mode is a breeze with the oversized, rubber-grip activity selector dial. With a little trial and error, kids should also be able to utilize the four-directional cursor button to add wacky kaleidoscope and underwater effects to their pictures.
Among the camera's other features are a large, 1.8-inch color LCD screen, optical viewfinders for both eyes, and a flash with a range of up to six feet. A small built-in microphone on the top of the camera records sound for movies.
As an added feature, the Kidizoom includes five challenging and fun games. The TV connector cables allow kids to enjoy the games on the big screen. Though the games themselves are unlikely to impress those kids who are already familiar with other portable game consoles, they offer a fun break between photo projects.
Greater Storage Capacity Keep Kids Busy for Hours
With a 256 MB of built-in memory, kids can take up to 500 high-resolution photos, or up to eight minutes of video, before having to transfer the files to a computer. For greater storage capacity, the Kidizoom also features an SD memory card slot (memory card not included).
Develop Photo-Editing Skills Early
The included Photo Editor software is compatible with Mac and PC, and features a selection of graphics and animation that can be added to photos. Some of the photo-editing features might initially overwhelm toddlers, but given a little time and instruction, they'll be impressing their friends with custom pictures.
With a few simple clicks of the mouse, a simple photo of a friend can be embellished with flowery borders, animals, a wig and glasses. Adding animation can turn the photo into an underwater scene or a spinning globe. The wide selection of special effects makes Kidizoom a fun and rewarding introduction to the world of photography.
The included Photo Editing software allows kids to add wacky photo effects, animation, and voiceover narration. Five built-in games provide added amusement between photo projects. Adult assistance is required to install four "AA" batteries (not included).
