The Bottom Line
A year ago I had the opportunity to review Vtech Kidizoom camera more children, and I thought it was a good camera for kids for the price. It was more of a toy than a serious photo-camera. A good idea for very young children
This year Vtech Kidizoom sent me the camera that the model that is cheaper than the Kidizoom Plus. The Kidizoom lacks a flash and some other functions, and has a lower compared to most LCD.
If, however, the Kidizoom for $ 20 less than most, which is a big difference in the comparison of these cameras are found. I have a little more Kidizoom range-stars because I do not think a little more best features worth $ 20 more.
The Kidizoom is a funny toy Combination / camera for children under 8 years old, but if you have a child who learn more about photography or recordings that are large enough to print, you will receive a traditional camera.

Image quality
The picture quality is not with the Kidizoom, as you can imagine. The interior shots are a bit dark, which is not surprising when a camera is used without a flash in the rule. Outdoor photos are not so bad in the picture quality, but tend to be a little underexposed. For a young photographer, but the image quality is sufficient, especially if you consider that this toy camera can be found for less than $ 40.
If you take any kind of objects, like other children or animals in motion, you will end up with a lot of blurry images, unfortunately. Camera shake can be a problem, too, for some photos inside, and that is a problem that many children have with this device, because it probably does not really think about the stabilization device. When most outdoor photos, the happier will shoot with the image quality.
The Kidizoom can 1.3MP or 0.3MP shoot each of the resolution, which is obviously a pretty picture. More can shoot up to 2.0 MP, but not enough, Toy Camera resolution for anything other than small prints or share online.
You will not find a 4x digital zoom - no optical zoom - with the Kidizoom, which means use leads to a loss of image quality in general.
The camera autofocus works at a distance better than in close-ups, although the focus will be not strong pin with this model. If you stand too close to the subject, the picture is probably out of focus.
You can perform some editing functions with low Kidizoom, including the addition of a digital picture frame or digital stamp for photos. You can also "customize" the photos with a small cut, but the Kidizoom would make a lot more fun when you had the extreme editing options.
No memory card is required because the Kidizoom has enough to store thousands of photos and dozens of video clips of internal memory.
Kidizoom Video mode is very easy to use. You can record video at a lower resolution and digital zoom during video recording. I was surprised that the video quality was not bad. The video from the Kidizoom function actually works a little better than the still image function.
Earnings
Not surprisingly for a camera for children, the response time of the Kidizoom well below average. Launch it takes seconds shutter lag and take a picture of a child or pet to go in motion. However, the delays Kidizoom shoot are taken minimal, which is good looking for an impatient child to a dozen images have back to back, is.
The LCD screen is quite small, typical of the camera for children. It measures 1.45 inches diagonally, but the images on the screen tends to be very uneven, when the camera moves. The Kidizoom screen can not keep up with moving images fast enough.
Alternatively, for a small screen, the image quality is not so bad.
The first time a child uses the camera, he or she will probably help you set the date and time need, but then should the camera without much help, only to photos to make them useful.
If your child is to use one of the effects of camera or video mode, he or she will probably be a little help. Toy Camera Limited All settings are via the Mode button available, and the parameters are displayed on the screen.
The menu consists of icons and descriptions of one or two words for each function, which should help to understand children. All important functions and features of the camera - reading, editing, games, photos and videos - are on the mode button available.
The Kidizoom has only three games, and are extremely simple. Only the younger children are not rapidly become quite tired of these games.
Design
The Kidizoom is for children aged 3-8 and I think that is a line of age for this unit. Children ranging from 7-8 years, who are already familiar with the electronics can get bored with the Kidizoom become quite fast, though.
The two shooters and two "sighting" in this toy camera means you can use the device like binoculars, which is a natural reaction for the kids with a camera to hold. Try to teach young children to close one eye to look through the viewfinder of a traditional camera is really hard, then this design is great.
Insert two AA batteries into each handle, so it is well balanced Kidizoom. This is a great toy camera, but do not feel too heavy or bulky. In contrast to the battery positive ceiling, which is screwed, battery covers Kidizoom open by pressing a lever. Could be a bit dangerous for small children who might be able to open the cover and the batteries in bulk. If you are worried about it, I recommend you go with the Plus. It is also possible that a child might open the USB cover slightly and jam in the slot.
The Kidizoom is very easy to use, with a simple structure button. The only button on the top of the camera is the trigger; You can also take photos by pressing the OK button on the back. Other buttons on the back are four-way button, mode button, a power button and a Cancel button.
The Kidizoom is designed to be a toy camera really cheap as. Of the fact that VTech does not include a USB cable with the camera to download the photos is Fortunately, you have a replacement that will fit this camera around your house already.
