Comments about VTech Electronics Kidizoom Plus Pink:
My 4yr old loves it. She has been playing with it since she open it up this morning. I have read reviews from other and was a little skeptical about. Glad we decided to get it.

Comments about VTech Electronics Kidizoom Plus Pink:
My 3 year old daughter loves taking pictures using my point and shoot camera so I'd thought of getting her this one. Overall, the camera is good for a child but perhaps they can improve the overall response when taking pictures (It is a bit slow). Lighting is a bid bad and has the tendency to overexpose but then again, for a kid camera, I think it is quite ok. Features are quite fun, especially the different effects available to tweak the photo.

Comments about VTech Electronics Kidizoom Plus Pink:
My 5 years daughter love taking pictures, so when I saw V-Tech selling Kidizoom camera I thought it was the perfect gift. However, I'm sure not only kids who likes taking picture will fell in love of this product. Kidizoom camera has games incorprated and allow making movies as well. When I saw first Kidizoom camera I thought "well, it's just a toy", but seein my daughter plaing with it I have to admit that's not just a toy, it's an intellingent toy!

Comments about VTech Electronics Kidizoom Plus Pink:
My wife is a portrait photographer, which means that our little girl has been on the other end of a camera all her life. We gave her the Kidizoom Plus for her birthday a couple weeks ago, and she loves it. She takes pictures of everything: her feet, leaves on the ground, sunsets, the dog, her lunch, everything. And she loves directing and arranging my wife and me for portraits. She's the boss now!
Four-year-olds drop things, even expensive things, and she has dropped the camera a couple times, once on the driveway. But it's obviously very well built and has sustained no damage.
Our girl hasn't mastered the art of holding the camera still when she's shooting, and the shutter speed is pretty slow. As a result, a lot of her shots are blurred. She doesn't really care right now. She seldom even looks at the pictures she has taken. The fun is in the taking of them. But as she gets older it could be frustrating for her to find that she hasn't captured moments as she'd hoped. This, of course, happens to all photographers, but only time will tell whether the capabilities of this camera feel limiting to our girl, who is surrounded by professional gear.
Battery life is amazing. We've never yet replaced the original batteries, and she has shot a lot of flash photos. A lot!
I've seen reviewers elsewhere suggest that parents just bite the bullet and spend twice as much for a genuine point and shoot camera. I can't see the advantage in that. The low-end cameras are all much too small and too hard for a toddler or young child to hold on to. And they will get dropped, at which point the lack of rubberized plastic surrounding everything will spell goodbye point and shoot.
Our little girl figured out how to use this camera within minutes. She hasn't explored the video features - she doesn't even know they exist - but all the automatic photo settings suit her and she figured out all the important stuff right away.
All in all, this was a really good purchase.
