Reviews

My 10 year old niece loves it. In good light it takes reasonably good videos. The accompanying software sucks, but if you just pop out the SD card that you purchased separately) and into your PC SD card reader, you can transfer the videos and pictures easily. The Disney Flix camera software is disappointing - it is just a short description of a scene in the movie. If you want a cheap video camera this is for you!

As others have said, this camera uses batteries pretty quick. We have taken pictures and used the video on the beach. I download everything as soon as I can from the video card so that I don't lose anything. Takes a pretty good picture and the videos are pretty clear too.

I bought this for my nephew and he won't put it down. It's very user-friendly...he figured it all out without any guidance. Unfortunately the first one died within a couple of months so this is the replacement.

I lucked out and found this camera on Woot one day, got the thing for $18 plus s/h paid UNDER $23! I read and watched a few reviews, figured it was worth it, but NEVER expected it to be as great as it is! I'd pay $30 for this camera if I had to. My daughter got this from Santa and never put it down. After her uncles showed her how to change the little dial to adjust between taking still shots, video, or looking over what you've saved/how to delete....it became the number 1 toy! It takes 2 simple AA batteries and once the kid learns how to delete things to "reuse" the space on the camera memory, it will last for hours of fun. She goes around taking pix of her little stuffed animals, her cat, the picture on the wall, now she likes to video us sitting around, or even what cartoon she's watching on TV. I let her take it to the park, and since she travels a LOT she now takes it in the car and video tapes things on the side of the highway. It's VERY easy to use, small and perfect for their little hands, you can download the pictures/videos to your computer to save or make into the little movies (the software comes with it) and she enjoys switching out the faceplates from Hanna to HSM or Pirates every so often. Of course it doesn't have the best zoom feature, great for within 20-40 feet I suppose. You won't take it to your kids play for video unless you are lucky enough to sit very close to the stage, but it takes great shots and is fun to use. I just broke down and bought her a 2GB SD card for extra storage so she doesn't have to delete a couple of her favorite videos she's recorded. I'd suggest splurging on the extra $12 for the SD card, it's a LOT more room and will definitely keep your little "director" happy for endless hours. I have never been so impressed with the price and ease, and features of a gift and have never seen my daughter get so excited and use something so endlessly, and this is a kid that's pretty easy to shop for but has almost everything. Any kid will love to play with this....and most adults will use it too!

Not a techy...read directions and it is still on the shelf..looked like it would take up a lot of space on my laptop to use..waste of my money..get what you pay for.....
