Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am really disappointed with this camera.
Based on the reviews, it seemed to be just the ticket for the daughter of a semi-pro photographer.
The camera is indeed durable; it's been dropped from two or three feet, with no ill effects. Unless abysmal image quality, random flash performance, and lousy battery life were the result of the drop.
The camera has a nice solid feel, and is easily holdable by a child. The binocular viewfinder is a nice touch. Includes a wrist lanyard, too.
But the pictures are a joke. You can buy a six megapixel camera for what this thing costs. For fifty bucks, they could have made this one at least two or four, but it's 640 by 480. The package says 'Two megapixel', with an asterisk indicating 'interpolated'.
The flash fires when it wants, and is purely random. I have shot weddings on film with guide number flash and manual focus in all kinds of mixed lighting. I could not produce a flash picture from this thing that I couldn't have done better with a phone. The flash will fire without regard to distance or lighting, on random shots. Doesn't matter if it has fresh batteries or not.
The camera has a lot of features a kid will love, like the frames and other edits. But it has no business being labeled as anything other than a toy. I would not give five bucks for one of these.
