I think the camera works great! My son uses it for making all kinds of videos, and except for using up 4 AA batteries pretty quickly, it is just the thing for a child under 10.

I ordered this camera for my 8 year old daughter for christmas and am so glad my mom and I decided to try it out before giving it to her. Even after an hour of trying we couldn't get the videos we took to download to my mom's computer. After we turned off the camera anything we had shot would disappear. I'm so glad we tried this out before I gave it to my daughter she would have been disappointed too.

Discovery Kid's products are designed to "look cool" in the box but they are cheap plastic junk. They break after a few weeks. What's worse is the manual states that they are warranted by Discovery Store Inc. but if you do not buy direct from Discovery Store, they will NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY!!! So what happens? You buy your kid a cool toy. They use it for a few weeks. Then it breaks. You have crying kids. You call Discovery. You don't have an order number, they tell you to get lost.

Don't buy this junk. It is guaranteed to break. Shop around and find something that is hobby quality instead of disposable toy quality or just select a different gift for you kid.

I was very disappointed with this camera. It had gotten so many rave reviews on Amazon. It is not made well, has a tiny screen and is pretty complicated to figure out. I wish I would have spent the extra $50 for a better camera rather than throwing away the 70$ I spent on this one.

I was shocked to see just how cheaply made this was. I would not recommend this for anyone.

I bought this for my grandson and found it was difficult to use and the quality of the picture was poor. I am in the process of getting a credit back to my account.

This camera wasn't what i was hoping for. The images were very dark, you'd have to use a spotlight indoors to use it. So sunny days outside is best i guess. And where was the sound i couldn't hear anything. I sent the Discovery Camera back and ended up getting our 8yr old an Ipod that had a video camera on it.

My girls got these cameras for christmas 3 years ago. At the time they were 3 and 4. We got them for $30 and I think they're great. They take nice video while outside. The kids don't really care how good it is. They just like taking videos and watching them on the screen. One of the cameras video screen isn't working anymore, but that's more from rough play by my daughter. I don't know that I would have paid $70 for these, but at $30 they were well worth it.
