The complete guide
Kids Digital Video Camera buying guide
A camera made for small hands
Kids love to take pictures. This blue camera gives them one of their own, so your phone can stay in your pocket.
The maker suggests it for children aged 3 to 12. One press of the shutter button takes a photo. There are no hard menus to learn before the fun starts.
Selfies with the main lens
Many kids cameras use a small, low-quality front camera for selfies. This one is different. The main HD camera flips around to face your child. Selfies use the same lens as every other photo.
Lots of ways to play
The camera has plenty to explore:
- 8x digital zoom
- 12 photo frames
- 8 stickers
- 6 filters
- burst shooting for quick action
- timed shots
- video recording and playback
- an MP3 music player
Your child can add a frame to a pet photo, try a filter on a family shot or record a short video of a day out.
What comes in the box
You get the camera plus:
- a 32GB SD card for photos and videos
- a card reader to move files to a computer
- a tripod
- a neck strap
The tripod is good for timed group shots and longer videos. The neck strap keeps the camera close on walks and trips.
Battery
The camera has a 1000mAh rechargeable battery. The maker says it gives about 2 to 3 hours of continuous shooting. Charge it before a big day out.
Size
It measures 3.5 x 11 x 7.7 cm and weighs 290 g. That is small enough for a backpack or a coat pocket.
Tips for young photographers
- Show your child how to wear the neck strap before they head outside.
- Try a photo hunt. Make a list of things to find and snap.
- Use the timer and tripod for a family photo with everyone in it.
- Look at the photos together on a computer at the end of the day.
Good habits
Help younger children charge the camera and look after the SD card and card reader. Small parts like the memory card should be kept away from babies and toddlers.
Who it suits
It suits curious kids who want to copy what grown-ups do with their phones. It also makes a fun birthday or holiday gift.
