1.0 out of 5 stars Lasted just a few hours, January 6, 2005

This review is from: Digital Concepts 88379 Kidz Digital Camera Kit (Blue) (Toy)

I purchased two cameras for my children. The first didn't work right out of the package. It wouldn't let me set the mode properly and wouldn't take a picture. The second stopped working properly a lttle later that day. I could set the mode but my children had trouble understanding it. Neither camera would turn on at all after a few hours and I thought perhaps the automatic shut-off wasn't working and I changed batteries, but this did not solve the problem. I, too, am returning this product.

This camera is garbage. It was a disappointment for my son and a waste of my money. It was hard to figure out, it took lousy pictures, it burned through batteries. Avoid this camera. I just wish I could give it zero stars.

This review is from: Digital Concepts 88379 Kidz Digital Camera Kit (Blue) (Toy)

Don't waste your money on this inexpensive digital camera - even at about $25, it's too much to spend for such a low quality item! I've already returned one (Toys-R-Us was great about the return!), after the shutter button broke after 3 days of normal usage/play. The camera is very cheaply made and not durable. It's almost impossible to get the wrist strap attached. Most importantly, the quality of the photos is terrible (fuzzy, grainy to the point of being unrecognizable!) - even on the best resolution where you can only take 19 pictures before needing to download. Another downside is that there is no screen to view the photos on the camera (which even the youngest kids expect these days!). The software that comes with the camera is confusing, but does have some cool backgrounds & picture editing effects.
