The Best Children's Digital Camera

Scoring highest in every category during tests conducted by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute, this children's digital camera earned The Best rating. A panel of grade school teachers, parents, and children evaluated the camera and noted that it was easiest to use because its instructions were clearly written, its buttons were easy to identify, and its grip was "great for small hands." The panel found it to provide the best image quality on its 1 1/2" color LCD, on a computer screen, and when printed. The camera also won The Best rating for durability, surviving five consecutive drops from 5'. Its built-in 256MB memory stores up to 500 photos at 2MP resolution and records up to eight minutes of video; supports up to 16 GB SD card (not included). The camera includes AV cables for plugging into a television to view photographs or movies. Included software works with Windows 7, Vista, and XP and Mac, and allows children to modify pictures with whimsical frames, stamps, facial expressions, and kaleidoscopic effects. Requires four AA batteries. Ages 3-9. 2" D x 6" W x 3 1/2" H. (1 1/4 lbs.)
