If you are looking for the perfect gift for a young child, the VTech Kidizoom Twist Camera is definitely one worth considering. It's not just another toy, although children will certainly have fun with it. It's a great way for kids to start learning about photography.
This camera features 20-megapixels as well as a digital zoom up to 4x. Although the internal memory is just 256 MB, you can add an SD card to expand that. In addition to taking still photos, it also records video with sound.
There are a number of features that make the VTech Kidizoom camera a great choice for kids. For example, borders, funny stamps and special effects can be added to the shots. The lens also rotates to allow them to take photos of themselves.
One of the most kid friendly of the features that makes this a particularly great gift is that it is easy to open. Nothing is worse for a child than being excited about a new present and not being able to get it out of the package. This one is certified to be free of frustration.
If kids get bored with using the VTech Kidizoom camera for taking pictures, there are five games that can be played on it. It can also be connected to a television both for playing games as well as for viewing the photos and videos that have been taken. And it's possible to connect it to either a PC or Mac computer.
It's built to be durable and to be handled by children without breaking. This makes it a good choice for kids to use until they are old enough to be able to handle fragile equipment. It's made so that small hands can easily hold on to and use it.
It's not unusual for kids to want to grab their parents' cameras or cell phones to take pictures. Unfortunately, that can sometimes end in disaster as they are lost or broken. This allows the little ones to have a chance to experiment without needing to replace your personal equipment or to have to fight with them over it when you really need it.
Back before cameras were digital, you had to worry about kids wasting film. Now, in the age of digital photography, the VTech Kidizoom Twist Camera allows them to take all the pictures they want. They may not become professional photographers one day but they will have a great time capturing the images they want to remember.
