The Fisher Price Kid-Tough Digital Camera broke new ground in a market of digital cameras for kids filled with a lot of junk. The Fisher Price digital camera is rugged enough to trust with small children, and it’s easy for kids to hold and use.

The 640×480 resolution pictures won’t be hanging in galleries any time soon, but they are certainly good enough to impress the kids.

• The Fisher Price Kid-Tough Digital Camera comes in blue or pink.

• It accepts easy-to-find AA batteries, but also uses a secondary round lithium battery.

• There is a rugged case available that holds the camera and USB cable

A Digital Camera Designed For Kids

The most striking thing about this camera is its rugged construction. Right out of the box, you have no doubt that this camera can take a beating. It’s made of soft and hard tough plastics.

This is also one of the first digital cameras that actually seems designed with a small child in mind. This camera, which is probably best suited to children ages 3 to 7, has oversized handles built for chunky little hands to grip with ease.

Instead of one optical viewer, it is designed like binoculars with two viewers so it rests easily on the face. The button is big and easy to operate.

The menu has no readings, but features large color-coded buttons and a simple exclamation point if a picture has issues.

Kid-Tough Digital Camera has a couple of very handy features. The built-in 8 MP memory will hold about 60 pictures. It accepts an SD memory card for more storage, and it has a built-in automatic flash. It connects to a computer via USB cable, and it comes with a CD with photo editing software.

Cons

* Images are just 640×480 resolution
* The images seen through the viewfinder look washed out and fuzzy. This is a side-effect of making a camera’s most vulnerable spot more durable.
* You must allow for the viewfinder framing a larger area than the final picture, so that you don’t end up cutting people’s heads off.

Pros

* Rugged digital camera that can be abused and dropped

* Easy for small children to hold and use

* Accepts a memory card to expand image storage

* Comes complete with Photo-editing software on CD
