Digital Cameras for Kids
Children are more interested and familiar with technology now more than ever. Kids are exposed early to the world of cell phones, computers, televisions, video game systems, and digital cameras. Most logical thinking parent would never dare buy their child an expensive, fragile camera, which is why many major manufacturers are now creating digital cameras for kids. These cameras are generally made of plastic, have a lower picture quality than regular digital cameras, and are significantly cheaper (some can be found as low as $25).
Kids digital cameras are a great way for your son or daughter to express their creativity, and are an extremely fun, safe, and rewarding means of entertainment. Camera manufacturers created digital cameras for kids to be able to take quality digital pictures, record movies, or a combination of both. These cameras can bring out your child’s inner Allen Grant or Steven Spielberg, and allows them to have a blast while doing it.
Companies usually create digital cameras for kids in two popular colors: blue and pink (obviously geared towards boys or girls). One of the most popular blue, “boy” cameras is the Fisher Price Kid-Tough Digital Camera. This award winning kid’s digital camera has an image resolution of either 0.3 or 1.3 Megapixels (you can choose which one), and comes with 128MB of memory, allowing storage for up to 500 photos. It also boasts a 1.5″ color LCD screen, to view the pictures before they are taken, and kid-friendly buttons. The estimated cost of one of these great cameras is $49.99, and can be found online or at the local toy store.
Another popular choice of digital cameras for kids, girls specifically, is the Digital Blue Disney Pix Jr Digital Camera.
Your daughter will be pleased to discover that it is Disney princess themed, and is colored different shades of pink. This kids digital camera has a build-in auto flash, the ability to zoom in 2x (fixed focus), and the ability to rapidly take pictures. It has a 1.3 Megapixel resolution and comes standard with 32MB of memory, which can be upgraded to 2GB via the SD Card Slot. It is ergonomically designed and is easy for children to grip, as well as long lasting (the estimated battery life is 15 hours if used non-stop). A fun feature of this kids digital camera is the ability to insert Disney characters directly into their photos with one simple click of the magic wand. Like the Fisher Price camera mentioned above, this camera has a 1.5″ color LCD screen. Once the pictures are taken, you can help your child load them onto the computer, and use the Disney Pix photo editing software to add fun graphics, adorable frames, and special effects to their photos. This award winning kids digital camera generally costs around $49.99.
