The V Tech camera is much more than a digital camera for children; I am very happy with my purchase; It turned out to be one of the best purchases of last Christmas. In this article, I’ll provide some of the reasons my kids love their V Tech camera so much. I did a lot of research on what type of camera to buy and I’m happy to say that I think I picked the right one.
The camera buttons are big and easy for the little fingers to use and the screen where you can see what photo you’re about to take (be it a pair of feet or mom first thing in the morning) is a good size. It is easy for them to hold them with the large rubber sides. Ours have been dropped numerous times, but they are still as good as the day we bought them.
The editing functions of the V Tech camera are fantastic: you can edit an image (usually a photo of mom or dad) to have a pair of elephant ears, some whiskers, a dinosaur hovering over them ready to gobble them up, have a crocodile. expensive and much more. You can also add a nice border around your image. You can even add special effects to your image and make it wobble.
It also has games you can play (great for a car trip) like zeros and crosses (beach style), matching pairs, and you can even juggle a picture into puzzle pieces and put it back together.
The USB connection that comes with the V Tech camera makes it really easy for you to upload your images to your PC (guys love looking at them on the computer). It also includes connections that allow you to view your images on the TV!
It’s great to take a look at what your kids have photographed at the end of the day. When Sam first received his, he was only 3 years old and taking a picture of what was on TV (usually Dora), our feet, his brother sleeping, etc. Now it has progressed and we are no longer obsessed with feet; he thinks it’s fun to take pictures of mom first thing in the morning; It’s not a pretty sight (his dad sure has influenced him!).
My kids are very proud when we go out and they can take photos like mom. We all know that when you’re little you want to grow up quickly and be more like mom and dad (although when you get there, you want to go back to being little again)!
I’d say the V Tech camera would be a great buy between 2 and 7 years old.
