 I have purchased a Crayola child digital camera for review and even have software to record me installing the camera software to see how smoothly that goes (some parents reviews complain it can be difficult). I will test drive the photo editing software and games that come with the kids camera and see how easy it is for young children to figure out how to use the Crayola child digital camera! I will be buying a child digital camera once a month and posting the review here. The plan is to buy a child digital camera, install the software on my computer, have kids of different age groups use the digital camera to take photos and then put it together into a video review of the whole process. Let me know if there is a child digital camera that you want to see reviewed first and I will start there!
Now that you have all bought the latest model kid digital camera for that special child's holiday gift, I need your help to review them. It would be very helpful to let others searching to buy a child digital camera to find your opinion on your child's camera.
First, click comment below (or you can find a post about the same camera you bought and comment to that) and let us know what type of child digital camera you have. Next write a review of the camera, was the child digital camera easy to use for your kid? Was the software easy to install or did it give you problems? What did you like best, what did you like least? Does your child have fun with the digital camera? Here are the side by side child digital camera features that I promised! I hope this makes it easier to choose a kid digital camera that is right for your child.
I had limited space so here are the abbreviations from the child digital camera comparison table: MP = Megapixel F = Flash LCD = LCD Screen EM = Expandable Memory IM = Internal Memory V = Viewer, how many eye holes in uses Z = Zoom V = Video If you want to post your review of a child digital camera, find a post about that kids camera and use the comment button to let us know what you think of your child's digital camera! It is really hard to decide on a child digital camera to buy when it seems there are so many negative reviews and the list of features sounds so similar. There really are very few good reviews for any model child digital camera mostly do to the fact that the parents are the ones giving it. Most parents who write a review are shocked by the very low megapixels and poor quality of the LCD screen and then are some who had problems installing the camera or uploading the photos. Although they get poor reviews, the child loves using the camera, they do not seem to care as much about the picture quality, all they do is point and shoot and the uploading of photos onto the computer is usually done by the parents.
Okay so you may be thinking, should I even buy a digital camera made for a child or should I by an inexpensive, point and shoot digital camera? If you are buying them their first digital camera to start their interest in photography or as an educational toy then a kid digital camera with the big buttons, two eye viewer and games is the best bet. Now, if the child already has expressed a liking in photography and has taken pictures with an adult camera a kid digital camera might disappoint because of the low megapixel and low flash capabilities. As far as the features, I am going to try to make it easier to look at the feature of different child digital cameras side by side on a chart, it should post it in the next couple days.

The reason you are looking for a child digital camera right now is because the kids today are more tech savvy then ever before. They do not learn how to use a computer in a class as we once did; their lessons are taught on the computer in class. Between using the computer for studying and homework as well as for fun (uploading photos from their child digital camera!), your child spends a lot of time on your home computer. So much time that it would be impossible for you to supervise the websites they visit, the material they look at or conversations with friends. That is why you should check out this parental control software for your PC that records everything your child does online, so you can keep and eye on them online even when you are not home. Click Here to learn more.
Now most of the digital cameras that are designed to be used by your child come with project software that lets your child use the photos they took to play games, create puzzles and be creative.
But if you are into photography also there are some fun interactive camera projects that you can do with your child to spark their creativity. 1) Plan out a photo shoot with your child, decide on a location to photograph and you both bring your digital cameras. 2) Pick a game to play: The alphabet game: Have your child take a picture of an object beginning with A-and continue through each letter of the alphabet. Scavenger hunt: Provide a list of specific things to find and photograph, style (a cat, a fire hydrant, a tree, etc). Story line: Have your child take photos that will follow a storyline. 3) Let them use the pictures they took with their child digital camera to make a presentation for the whole family to see! I got an email with the question, “Should I buy my child a kids digital camera or a regular digital camera the child can grow into?” from one of my Digital Camera Help visitors. Well, the answer really lies with the child!
If you are buying them a digital camera as an educational toy or to start their interest in photography then a kid digital camera with all the games and software is probley the best bet. Now, if the child already has expressed a liking in photography and has taken pictures with an adult camera a kid digital camera would probley disappoint because of the low megapixel and low flash capabilities.

You can never be sure whether they will like what you buy for them or not. So, when you want to buy a digital camera for your little kids, then there are lots of things, which you must know, which will help you (hopefully!) to get the right camera for your child.
One of the most important things for children is that the digital camera should be one of the latest available in the market. If it has been heavily advertised and people are talking about it, then it is even better. This gives children a sense of pride and also allows them to ‘show-off’ their possession to their friends. Another factor, which is critical for children, is that the camera must look good. This is very, very important to them. It does not matter whether it has a big screen or small screen, whether it is 2 mega pixel or 1.5 mega pixel – the camera should have a smart shape, come in flashy colors or it can also look cute or funky. But, the camera should not look ‘boring’ or very ‘serious’ in nature. However good the functions might be, if the camera does not look good, it is most likely that your choice will get rejected. The size is also important. Most children will definitely prefer a digital camera that is small and compact in size. The weight and size should be such that they are able to easily put the camera in their pocket or hang it by a string. Large and bulky models, even if they have better features are not advisable for children. It is also necessary to remember that even though you might gift your child a digital camera to click photographs for school projects, they will be using it to take pictures of their friends. So, look for some ‘fun’ features in the digital camera. These can include colorful background images or sound effects, photographic effects that they can use to enhance the images taken by them. One more thing is ease of use. It is important that the camera has a simple system through which children can easily take pictures quickly. However, you really do not need to worry about this aspect a lot because today’s children have been born in the digital era. They are able to pick up things much faster than you or me, so as long as the camera is good in all other aspects, even if its ‘click ability’ is a little confusing, it does not really matter. They are fast learners these days! Last but not the least, is the price. While buying a digital camera for your child, it is understandable that you really do not want to spend a lot of money. There are lots of choices available in the market today. The price range starts from as low as $30 and can go up to $300. So, it really depends on how much you would like to spend on the camera. Start simple and upgrade if they grow out of the digital camera that you buy for them. Hey share them with the whole family!
