Kidizoom Pro Multimedia Digital Camera, V-Tech

DS1 loves this! It is quite a basic camera and doesn't take brilliant quality pictures, but he has had it for a few years now and it is still growing strong and taking many a blurry close up of bits of lego. He's heaped lots of abuse on it without causing any problems. It eats batteries, though, so get rechargables for it.

Ds aged 4 got this for his birthday and absolutely loves it. It is something he plays with on a daily basis and for mor than 5 mins. He enjoys taking it out on days out or even in the garden. Very durable and child-friendly. He also loves the video making capablility.

Fantastic childrens camea, Bought one for our 6 year old and ended up getting the 7 year old one as well it was so popular. they love the video taking facility. and transferring all the photos to the computer or watching them on telly. Well worth the money.

My son loves his camera. It's fantastically easy to use to take pictures and video, plus it's got games so it's the perfect device to take on holiday. It's very durable with chunky rubberised handles which are easy for small hands to grip and hold steady. Plus if it gets dropped (as it inevitably will) it doesn't shatter into a zillion pieces. It's definitely my nearly five-year-old's very favourite toy.
