Bright, fun and for kids!4
I gave this to my 2 yr old niece and she loves it! There's 100s of photos of the floor and people's ankles but in time she'll get better and absolutely loves snapping away with it (adults seem to think it's quite fun too). The age for it is 3+ so she's got time to learn as she grows.

First and foremost this is a kids camera. The quality of the photos isn't what you'd get from a 8 megapixel adult camera, but this is a toy. Your child can drop it on the ground, have sticky fingers and generally have a good kid time with it. That said, the photos aren't bad. The adults managed to get some good photos and so did my niece.

Other things to remember, you need 4 AA batteries and a screwdriver to get into the battery compartment. That's great for kids toys so they can't take the batteries out but bad if you're on holiday when they get the camera and can't put the batteries in.

A big hit! 5
The V-Tech Kiddizoom camera was bought as a present for my four year old daughter. The camera is very easy to use - within about two minutes of the Kiddizoom being out of the box she was snapping away happily, taking photos of parents, siblings and lots of the cat. The camera is certainly robust; it has been dropped on a number of occasions and has suffered no ill effects whatsoever.

The camera is well designed for little hands, and the menu screens and additional functionality (such as games, memory manager) are easy to access and intuitive. The picture quality is fair, but it should be noted there is no zoom function and there can be some significant shutter lag. As such the Kiddizoom should be seen more as a fun introduction to photography, rather than a full blown operational camera. The camera comes with all the cables, software etc that you need to transfer pictures you want to keep to your PC or to print photos. The Kiddizoom has a number of fun functions - you can overlay comedy noses, devil horns or animations onto your pictures and the additional games also keep little ones occupied for long periods of time. Overall I would recommend the Kiddizoom as a fun way for children to take photos - so they won't want to play around with the more expensive (and fragile) cameras you have around the house. It might not capture the highest quality images, but certainly fulfils the manufacturer's claims to be "ultra-tough and easy to use".
