5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Camera For Young Kids, November 9, 2009
= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars
My 4 year old got this a few days ago, and he loves it! I liked the two eyehole feature, but he seems to do fine just looking at the back like a regular digital camera to focus on what he wants to take a picture of. It has an automatic flash when needed, a power button, a trash button and two playback buttons. Also has a cord to plug into the computer to download pictures. Very durable and big enough for small pudgy hands to grip onto. It seems to have rubbery stuff on the outside to make it more slip proof as well. This is a perfect 1st camera for young kids in my opinion.

Get the kidizoom instead!, February 13, 2010
= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars
After reading all the reviews, I chose to get my two year old (she's a very old two) the Kidizoom for Christmas. On Christmas Eve, we discovered it was defective and I quickly ran to Toys R Us to get a replacement. All they had was this Fisher Price one, so we got that instead.
This week, I found the Kidizoom for an amazing price and got that one as a 'backup' camera, so I've been able to compare the two.
First of all, the "pictures" that this one takes are laughable. My cell phone takes better pictures by far. The flash is completely spastic, and you can't control when it goes off or doesn't.
When I first imported the photos, I was shocked. I'd heard the pics weren't great, but seriously? They barely register as images.
Also, the button to take pictures is in a really hard place to reach.
The only thing I can say is that it's very sturdy - so if your child is going to hurl the camera around or something ... well, maybe just don't get them a camera at all!
The Kidizoom takes clear shots and you can change all sorts of settings.
