Kids camera

My 3.5 year old is really interested in the camera and I've told him if he does all his poos on the toilet I will tell santa he has been a good boy and santa will bring him his own camera for christmas.

Does anyone have a kids one they would recommend? We've already bought his xmas presents so I dont' want to spend too much but if I know a good brand I can always look second hand on trademe for it.

Thanks

I've been coveting the Vtech Kidizoom from chalk.co.nz, if only it wasn't so expensive and they had a more unisex version! (I've seen blue ones elsewhere but they were more expensive)

cool site weegee

That Vtech one looks cool, but far too much money, would be ok if we hadn't already bought his main present.

I might look for a cheap real camera, I did think about the disposable one but he likes our one as you can see the display.

oh thank you will check that out

If you collect flybuys there's at least one style of kid's camera available in the flybuys rewards for just a few hundred points i think

We just bought a $50 one for my 4yo nephew from Normal Ross (they had the same ones at Noel Leeming and Bond & Bond, and possibly Harvey Norman too).
It isn't the best camera, the preview scream is absolutely tiny and we kind of wish we had of spent another $50 odd dollars and bought an el-cheapo "real" camera.
My nephew loves it though and has had a ball with it. Was a brilliant idea.

ETA - the photo quality looks pretty average too. We haven't had a chance to get any printed to see what they actually turn out like, but it looks like they are fairly fuzzy. It does however come with software for downloading to the computer, I don't think that's been used yet either though.

That skull one keeps popping up everywhere

Thank you.

I might see if I can get one of those vtech ones second hand and if not I'll buy one of the others. We can always buy him a better one for his birthday if he's still really into it then.

We brought Keira a fisher price camera a couple of years back.
I really wish I had just brought her a regular camera as the photo quality was really poor and the viewfinder didn't show what you were taking the photo of (it would always cut heads off, I even tried and struggled not to) I am not sure if they have a new and improved version out these days....

Vtech is fantastic alan has had his 2 years its had a hard life still goes fine easy to use he likes taking vids the most so for his birthday on Monday he is getting a kids vid cam from dick smith
