    Great Vacation Camera for Kids

    We recently took our first international family vacation with our 7 year old twins. The trip included a lot of adventure days in and out of the water. I wanted waterproof cameras for both kids so they could take their own pictures. This camera really fit the bill. It's much smaller than I expected - it fits in the palm of your hand - and I worried it would get lost but kids managed it well. We only took the camera, strap and waterproof case so I can't speak to the other parts. When the cameras arrived (and quickly, thanks Best Buy) I was disappointed they had video games in them BUT that feature turned out to be a real ancillary benefit. It kept the kids occupied in the car and on planes, and while waiting in line. There are a lot of features in this camera - frames, filters (the "negative" filter was really popular), self-timer, etc. Kids learned the features quickly and we didn't need the manual with us. Negatives: I do wish it was a bit bigger, although it fits in a kid's pocket which is handy. And I removed a star because it needs some kind of stability control in the settings - if the "photographer" or subjects are moving at all the image is blurry. The photos are also slightly over-saturated in color, which reminded me of the old Polaroid pics. I actually liked that aspect but you may not. Regardless, many of the kid pics came out great, and the videos came out even better. My daughter took over 300 pictures in eight days - shots I never would have gotten myself. Now we have vacation memories unique to their perspective. I've included two of my daughter's good photos, one underwater. Overall great little camera, highly recommend.

    I bought this item as Christmas gift for my son when he saw it at the store and said he's always wanted this item. It is a little pricey for a kid's toy but it looks to be made well and of high quality material. My son seems to be really happy with it, so I guess it is a great product, although, we are yet to try it under water when we get to Key West in February.

    Gave my 3 1/2 year old on vacation to keep her from wanting to play with GoPro. Picture and video quality is okay at best. Games included were low quality. She was able to take pictures and videos easily. Holds charge for several hours. Waterproof case works well. Great kid camera.

    I bought this for my nephew for Christmas. He could not wait to ripe into the box and start using it. We charged it up and headed for the pool. It was super easy to set up and we all had a lot of fun with it. Next adventure was on the quad. Once we found a spot to mount it off he was making memories.

    It's a really practical action camera for kids. I bought this for my 4 year old. She loves it. She carries it around everywhere. She love to take pics and videos. Although you need a SD card if you want to record on 720p. Overall is a good camera has games, filters for video and photo.

    Kidizoom Action Camera is no GoPro

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Kidizoom Action Camera is a great concept. The camera comes with a multitude of mounting options, and even comes with a waterproof case (just like a GoPro). That, however, is where the similarities with a GoPro end. The camera itself has a pin-hole size lens, and supports only 640x480 video. A 32Gb MicroSD card (not included) will hold 240 minutes of this 640x480 video. After taking videos/still pictures in a pool, and while riding her bike, my daughter was eager to watch the fruits of her labor up on our 4K TV (just like the video from Dad's GoPro). She was disappointed with the video quality. The mounts provided shaky video, which was difficult to watch. Also, the 640x480 resolution left much to be desired when it came to resolution. Now I know that this camera is roughly $40. And I know that it's for kids. But couldn't they at least provide a CCD that can grab 720p, and provide decent image stabilization? This would have resulted in a much happier child, and I'd be willing to pay the price bump associated with the higher performance. My $0.02.

    Our grandson was well pleased with this camera, but I was a little disappointed at the size of the camera. It is very small and I suppose it has to be to be able to attach to bicycle handlebars. It is a good camera for a young beginner, though.

    GoPro has NOTHING on This Baby!

    When the kids said they wanted GoPro cameras for Christmas, my initial thought was, "Nope. Not gonna happen." Leave it to my wife to find a decent and VERY affordable alternative. The VTech - Kidizoom Action Camera - Black/Yellow is NOT a GoPro and doesn't come with all of the accessories and such to allow you to attach it to your head or to a helmet; however, those kinds of things DO exist, and they're also, VERY affordable. The VTech - Kidizoom Action Camera - Black/Yellow is easy to use, easy to charge and takes decent photos. No, they're not the 4k shots you get off a GoPro, but for the money, they do the job, and you get the kind of action photos and videos you would expect to see when you're running, skateboarding, bike riding etc. You can store tons of video with a 32GB microSD card (not included...) The kids... love these cameras. I... love the price; and my wife... she saved Christmas. If you don't mind not having 4k resolution, this is a no brainer when it comes to price; and for the money, you get to have a lot of fun.
