Dont waste your money - Reviewed on 2008-10-05

I bought this for my 7 year old daughter who has been asking for a digital camera for awhile and was sorely disappointed. The camera is made of a cheap plastic and there is no review screen to see the pictures. It only holds a few pictures at a time and changing the default settings on the camera is the biggest pain. She did enjoy making the online journal with her own pictures, but frankly, it wasn't anything we couldn't do in word, and she was NOT impressed by the selections for the backgrounds or cards. Plus, due to the small amount of pictures the camera could hold, I was constantly uploading pictures and then deleting the camera so she could go take more.

My 11 year old received this for a birthday gift from a friend, who said she uses hers all the time I was not really excited because my daughter doesnt spend alot of time on the computer, she would rather be outside and active. But the first day she got it we had a blast, first taking the photos then putting the journal together, i helped her get it all downloaded etc, but afther that she was on her own...it is a really cool gift for about the 10-11 year old range
I dont know about younger children and olders children might like something a little better quality but for 10-11 year olds its perfect

My girls love them!! - Reviewed on 2008-02-13

I purchased one for each of my girls (9 &10). They just love being able to create their own journals with pictures of their friends. All and all I would say it is an ok first digital camera. I also had some problems with one of them and it was quickly replaced by Amazon. That is excelent costomer service.

Lousy Camera, OK Software. - Reviewed on 2008-01-27

my daughter was happy at first few days after receiving this as a gift. But she stopped using it citing the low quality photos and videos the camera take. Also the memory is too small - just 8 photos then it is full.

Big disappointment - Reviewed on 2008-01-18

This was an xmas gift for my daughter. I was so excited about giving it to her and thought it would be fun for her to take pictures and make videos. I understood they wouldn't have sound and would be short. However, the software kept crashing so nothing could get uploaded to the computer unless I tried doing it through windows movie maker, a process which just frustrated my 10-year-old. The software is suppose to make it more user/kid friendly, without that it's not much use. I'll spend the 100 dollars and get a flip cam instead, then she can have 60 mins of vid time, sound, and the thing will function properly. Sometimes you have to pay more to get quality and this certainly is the case.
