VTech Camera

The VTech Kidizoom camera is a great gift to teach your kids about photography. One of the best features that they will love is the ability to plug the camera in to your TV and watch the photos and videos they have shot.

It's clear right out of the packaging that the VTech Kidizoom Camera was designed to be durable enough to stand up to tough play and rough handling. Bright pink rubber handles on each side make it easy for children to hold on to the camera with both hands, and two-eye viewing makes it easy to imagine a photo or a great video. The camera even comes with two interchangeable faceplates, so your children can pick their favorite look.

Six buttons and a navigational joystick on the back of the vtech camera let your child pick a mode and scroll through old photos. Between taking photos, shooting videos, and playing simple games on the 1.8-inch color screen, there's lots to do.

With 16MB of internal memory and an SD card slot so that you can increase capacity if you should need it, the VTech Kidizoom Camera lets kids collect many images. The included USB cable lets you transfer the images to your computer. The VTech photo editor allows you or your child add cool frames to photos, stamp funny hats on people, and distort images. You can even run cool animations that makes the photo look like it is rotating or underwater.

Rugged and easy to use, the Vtech Kidizoom Camera is ready to document all your child's adventures. With two-eye viewing, grips designed to fit in little hands, and a built-in flash, this real digital camera can also shoot video. It also includes simple-to-use photo editing software so kids aged three and up can add creative touches to their images.

Remembers that before your child starts using the camera, you'll need to use a Phillips screwdriver to put four "AA" batteries inside the grips of the camera. You may decide to set up the VTech Photo Editor on your computer, while the first few photos are being taken. An simple installation wizard makes this process quick and straight forward. You'll need Windows 2000 SP3+/XP or newer to use the software. And don't worry if you're a Mac user. As long as you have Mac OS X 10.0 or above, you can still use the camera in mass storage mode.

A built-in flash makes it easier to get well-lit pictures with the VTech Kidizoom Camera, especially if the subject of the photo is indoors. The flash does, however, often fire if you are trying to take a close-up shot, resulting in very bright, blown-out pictures. Inexperienced photographers may need to be reminded that the camera is not designed to focus on objects that are less than 1.5-feet from the camera. For super-sized fun, you can also link the camera to your television using the included A/V cable and view creative work on the big screen.
