My 3 year old daughter loves this camera!! She takes pictures of everything. The quality of the pictures is what you expect from a kids camera, but they are not terrible. This thing has been abused by both my 3 and 1 year old…Keeps on working!! VERY DURABLE.. Definitely worth it
Great Camera for a little one
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
We bought this camera for our daughter for her birthday. She has had so much fun with it. It is easy for her to use and take pictures just like mommy and daddy do. The camera has been bumped and dropped and still works great. I suggest shopping around, sometimes you can find a gift pack that includes a memory card and travel case, for the same price, or less than the camera itself, that allows your child to take more pictures and put the camera in a case like mommy does. I do however think the price is kind of high for the product you are getting. The pictures don’t come out that great, good enough for a 3 year old but not good enough to put in frames and hang on the walls. When taking a picture, what shows up on the viewing screen isn’t what you see through the view finder. The view finder allows the child to see a larger area then the picture they are actually taking.
A fun, but useless *toy*

My 3-year-old and 4-year-old LOVE this camera. They have learned exactly how to use it and actually do a great job with it — so it is educational. It is also very durable and has survived a few falls. However, the picture quality is SO bad that the pictures are completely useless! They come out grainy, yellowed, and either too dark or over exposed. (I can’t believe some of the customer photos on this page were taken with the same kind of camera we have because they are MUCH better!) It’s a shame too because the kids have actually gotten some really great shots that I wish had been taken with a better camera….
its ok

I bought this camera in 2006 and it broke the same year so my child didn’t even get to use it more than a year. The computer inside crashed and we couldn’t retrieve the pictures my child had taken. They weren’t of great importance, but she loved the camera and took pride in using it herself. the batteries dont last very long in it so I would recommend rechargeable batteries or get a case of regular batteries.
Great Camera
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
My three-year-old loves this camera. It holds about 80 pictures and about 10 of those 80 are really good shots, good enough to add to my family photo collection. It’s easy for her to handle and it’s great fun. We take it with us when we go on outings and when she gets restless I pull out the camera and that keeps her busy for about an hour (lifetime for a 3-year-old). Also, it’s really easy to delete the 70 pics that aren’t good enough to keep.
Decent camera for 5 year old
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I bought two of these for my twin daughters. They seem to enjoy them. The pictures on the view screen could be better, but after all it is a childs camera. I is very sturdy, it has been dropped several times and still works. I will have to sa I have not uploaded any pictures to my computer from it yet. So I am not sure how the quality is there. My girls just like taking pictures and seeing them on the view screen.
Crappy Pictures
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
Sure, the camera is tough and my 5 yr old thinks the games are cool, the pictures are so crappy he got bored with it in minutes. It is near impossible to take a clear picture b/c of the poor quality. If you breath the picture comes out blurry. He likes the idea, but he prefers disposables b/c he can “see” what he took pictures of. I am very disappointed witht his camera! It costs entirely too much for what you get!
Fun with pictures!!!

We recently purchased this camera for our daughter’s third birhday. She loves it!!! It is so easy to use. The pictures actually come out nice. They are a lot better then we expected! The photo program that comes with the camera is excellent!! It is easy to use and fun to created slide shoews with the kids! I would definately recomend this to anyone!!
Kid-Tough Camera
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
We got this for our 3 y/o’s birthday and she loves it and so do we. All we had to do was show her one time what buttons do what and she picked up on it right away. This family now says “cheese” a LOT! I like the fact she can use the screen or the double viewfinder to take the pictures and it takes good enough pictures. I don’t expect the quality of the adult digital camera but it comes pretty darn close. Easy to download pics to the computer, overall this is a great product!
Perfect first camera for little hands
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
We bought this camera for my daughter’s birthday because she was dying to have a digital camera like everyone else in the family. We put batteries and the SD card in before we gave it to her and, as we expected, she started taking pictures the second she opened the package. With only a few instructions on how to use the buttons, our little photographer was busy snapping away. (When my oldest heard how many pictures this camera would store, she was jealous because her older camera isn’t SD capable.) My six year old has snapped hundreds and hundreds pictures and we have yet to need to change the batteries. The pictures also download very easily onto the computer. She took it to school with her the next day and let the children on the playground take turns using it. Therefore, I can also say that children from age 3 and up can easily use this camera.
The picture quality is not “professional” but this does not bother us. Given her age, the vast majority of the shots are not “keepers” anyway. (And unlike when my oldest got her first camera, I do not have to pay a fortune for developing film.) My daughter is very quickly learning how to hold the camera steady thanks to the sound the camera makes when she pushes the shutter button and the ability to see her shots quickly on the computer. As she does this, her picture quality is getting much better. The flash isn’t very strong, so outdoor pictures are of better quality than indoor…but indoor shots are still adequate.
The LCD screen is very small but to be honest my daughter only wants to look at it to see if the picture is there. She “evaluates” whether or not she wants to keep the photograph when it is displayed on the computer.
The one drawback is that the batteries can be a little bit of a production to put in, but as I said before that does not seem to be something we have to do very often. (And she uses the camera constantly.) However, I also appreciate the fact that younger children could not open that compartment.
This camera is extremely tough, very easy to use, and battery friendly. The LCD screen, while not extremely clear, does show the picture and gives the immediate feedback that children love. The grips are generous and make holding the camera easy. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone who is thinking about getting a first camera for a young child.
not durable, not easy to use!
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
My daughter received this for her 3rd birthday and she was so excited to use it. While it worked great for about an hour- she took 160 pictures. It holds about 80, so then we had to scroll through and delete each picture individually- there should really be a way to delete all- then she took another round. After that the battery died. And died again. And Again. You get the idea. We were using regular alkaline batteries and they would go in about 2 hours. Then we started having problems with it mysteriously freezing up. You would have to unscrew the battery compartment take the batteries out and then put them back in again, only to lose the pictures that were on there. I will be contacting customer service as soon as I can reach them when they are actually open.
Too Expensive for what it is
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
For how much this camera costs, it’ll be cheaper to buy a used regular digital camera on eBay and give that to your kid. And I’m talking ones from two years ago that were built tought, not the newer lightweight models, as the older models can take a beating.
My kid loves my old Sony 3.2 megapixel camera. And because of the quality of the photos, they make for great archiving and printing not like the awful photos this camera takes.
Furthermore, if you want something durable, most real-life digital cameras are available with a waterproof external case, which actually works as a great case if your kid drops the camera and would still be smaller than this.
This is the discontinued model, but get it while you can!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This model, the pink one wiith the green ring around the lense, is the discontinued model of the girls Kid Tough camera. The newer version got worse reviews which is why I looked so hard for this one. I searched online and in retail stores. Walmart, Toys R US and Target are clearing out these versions for 48.99. I found mine at a Walmart. I almost paid [...] online for it! So look around locally first…you might find one!
Disappointed in the Picture Quality
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
This camera is a nice idea however it isn’t worth a dime. The camera is durable but my daughter only used it once. She got it shortly before we had our second baby. She took pictures of her new sister and none of the pictures were worth printing. My daughter is a natural photographer and was disappointed to see her pictures on the computer look so bad (blurry, grainy and dark). Now we let her use our camera. Hopefully they make a much better kids camera because the idea is a good one. Don’t waste your money on this camera. It would be wiser to do your research on cheaper digital cameras and get a regular camera instead. From our experience cameras take a beating and continue to work. Thank goodness because ours has been dropped many times. GET A DIFFERENT CAMERA!
Fun first camera

I purchased this for my daughter for her 4th birthday. Shes had it almost a year. She loves to take photos alongside me or just whenever she feels like it. I love how durable this toy is, She has dropped it a few times. Its inevitable. Luckily its held up great. The resolution isnt the best and sometimes the flash overexposes but it is a kids camera so I didnt expect more. She loves to look at the small screen to see what shes captured. Its great training for her to have a better camera one day.
Make sure you order the NEW version — not this one
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
If you are going to order this camera make sure to order the new version. It has 1.3 mega pixels and a slightly larger LCD screen at 1.6″. It costs a little more than this model does but worth it if you want to actually keep some of the photos taken. Here is the Amazon link for it:Fisher Price Kid Tough Digital Camera – Pink (New Version)
Wasn’t impressed.
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I was not happy with product at all. I understand it is made for a child, but you should still be able to take decent photos. My three year old takes perfect pictures with an adult digital camera, but this one shows you a full view in the window, yet cuts off half the photo when taken.
We love this toy camera!

I bought this camera for my granddaughter for her sixth birthday. She has always wanted to “take a turn” with my digital camera, and now she has her own! When she opened it on her birthday she said “Is this a real camera?!” She immediately started taking pictures and she knows how to look at the pictures and delete the ones she doesn’t like. I help her download them on the computer so she can see them big and when we print them, they really turn out well. I was surprised that the pictures are actually as good as they are with this being a toy. I bought rechargable batteries and a memory card. The batteries last a very long time and with the small memory card, the camera can hold over a thousand pictures before it is full. We love this and I will buy it for all of my other grandchildren too!
F.P. Cameria review from Grandma T
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
My Granddaughter was thrilled to get this camera. It made her feel like a big girl. I bought it for her 4th birthday and I would say it was her favorite gifts among many, many gifts. It was a little expensive, but worth it.
good quality

purchased as a Christmas gift for my 5 year old granddaughter. She likes it very much, and it has held up perfectly after being tossed around and dropped many times.
DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA FOR ANY CHILD
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
This is the poorest excuse for a “camera” we have ever seen. We purchased it for our 4 year old granddaughter when her baby sister was born last month(March 2008), thinking she would have fun with it while we adults were taking pictures of the new baby.
Well, it takes unbelievably poor quality “pictures,” if you can call them that. The LCD screen is so miniscule that even if the photos were actually good, you would not be able to see them very well. No matter how hard you try to keep the camera still (even adults) the photos are always slightly out of focus.
And now I see the camera has gone UP in price! Huh? What’s this? We paid $50 for this thing new on Amazon.com and now it is double that price! We have seen comparable (but still bad quality) cameras at CVS drugstores for $20. If you’re going to introduce a child to his or her own camera, best to pay as little as possible. For crying out loud, you can pay $98 for a REAL digital camera, which is what a child wants anyway – something that looks like an adult camera.
And, by the way, yes, it can be dropped and won’t break. Big deal. I have dropped my little Canon digital Elph a dozen times, even on concrete once, and it still works just fine. So don’t let the “durability” of this “camera” be a selling point.
So, bottom line, DON’T BUY THIS CAMERA – it sucks, even for a 4 year old!!
fun way for a small one to experience photography
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I bought this for my daughters 4th birthday. She’ll be 5 in 3 months and still loves it. It’s great for her to be able to take photo’s without using mom and dad’s expensive camera. The preview screen is very small and resolution is poor, but she doesn’t seem to mind at all. The buttons are extremely easy to use and she had them figured out in minutes. I’ve only had to change the batteries one time in almost a year. We haven’t downloaded any of the pictures (she’s not really interested in that feature) so I can’t say what the pictures look like when you print them. It’s very durable, and being dropped multiple times hasn’t affected it’s performance. I’d highly recommend for any budding photog.
Wonderful purchase!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
With a working flash, a double view finder, a larger (than the older version) display, easy to work controls to scroll, delete and turn on and off, it’s approx. 60 picture internal memory, the durability and attractive look for a toddler; there’s only one more thing that you could ask for and that’s a bit better picture quality. The pros FAR outweigh the con. To me, it was just a bit pricey, but I think we have gotten what our money paid for! My 2 1/2 year old daughter LOVES this, and out of everything it has already become her favorite gift, the strap never leaving her wrist! She LOVES seeing her pictures, and taking pictures of everything, including little piggy-toes, the wall, or the dog’s tail! LOL.
This is a big hit in our home…. Though where I bought my new version of this item, it was $69.00, so shop around for a good price.
Good idea – poor pics
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
My daughter loves this camera and has a great time. Fortunately she is not (quite) as picky as I am with regard to picture quality but she did express a little disappointment at the way they look on the LCD screen. The idea of her taking her own pictures tickles her enough to not see this as a great problem, although I remain disappointed – especially at the price!
Great for a four year old
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought this for my girl Christmas 06 and It’s great! It has nice feel when you grip it. It’s solidly built, droppable and very kid proof. It doesn’t have lots of bells and whistles but that is good because she was able to take pictures right away. It will be years before she starts noticing she has no zoom, her image quality is poor and her LCD is small, than she’ll be ready for a big girl camera. For now, she just loves taking pictures of everything (we have lots of pictures of Pooh bear)
and she leaves Mommies camera alone! As I mentioned, the pics aren’t so great but they are good enough. She gets so excited when we print them out. Keep in mind four year old art, they think everything they do is a masterpiece. She loves her camera.
