Just received the digicam today and my kids have not put them down since!! there are a lot of functions (editing, taking video with animation). Very easy to use. The only downside I can see so far is the reading speed is a little slow. One has to hold the camera still for a few seconds after pressing the button for the pictures to be written.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to figure out, fun even if you don't December 25, 2010

My 5 year old was able to figure out all the features (adding effects, deleting files, playback, etc..) with no help from me in about 10 min. Takes very good pictures and videos as long as you don't swing the camera a lot. The LCD screen is bright and clear.

This is one toy that hasn't been put down since it was opened. Also good for sending videos and pictures to family.

The only problem we've had is it sometimes can't find the files on the SD card if it gets a decent bump, you just have to pop it up and back in and it's all there. It doesn't come with an SD card but you should at least get a 1GB for hours of fun.

I hesitated to buy this gift but when the price was reduced I bought it. This was my granddaughter's favorite gift. She learned how to use it quickly and used it all day. She took videos of everything and everyone, she took still pictures and was able to make them into puzzles. She has been using it over and over for 3 days now. A wonderful gift full of hours of fun.
