Hot Xmas Gifts 2011

Kids just love playing with cameras, especially video cameras, which makes the VTech Kidizoom Video Camera something of a no-brainer when it comes to Christmas gift choices this year. Over the years, VTech Kidizoom have built a solid reputation for producing child proof cameras. Over the last couple of years, their Kidizoom Plus Multimedia Digital Camera has been one of the best selling toys. This new video camera which comes in pink or blue, is widely expected to sell out this year.
 

The VTech Kidizoom Video Camera – More Than Just A toy

The VTech Kidizoom Video Camera is not merely a toy — It actually works! It will give your child endless pleasure taking photographs and making their own videos. They will be able to edit their photos, have fun playing with the face tracking technology, and adding funny moving animations to their favourite pictures. This last feature will keep kids occupied for hours. If they get bored with taking photos or shooting videos, the camera also includes four games built in.

The most important thing to note about these digital and video cameras is that they are designed and built for kids. They are highly durable and can withstand a lot of tough treatment. This means they can handle being treated roughly i.e. being dropped and trampled on. They are certainly not unbreakable, but they are built to sustain most of the rough handling they would receive from a small child.  In the hands of a toddler a real camera would be broken in minutes, but the VTech Kidizoom Video Camera can take this sort of treatment in its stride.  Kids love them and  they have become immensely popular.

The VTech Kidizoom Video Camera – Expanding the Memory

The cameras come with a standard 256mb of memory which some reviewers find a little on the small side. You can easily expand the memory of the camera with a cheap SD card. The camera does have an SD slot, but SD cards aren’t provided as standard. SD cards are, however, easy to find and cheap to purchase.

Some reviewers have commented on the picture quality, but bear in mind, that these cameras are designed for small children, not professional photographers. The kids love them, and they love the pictures they take, and the fun they can have manipulating them.

Unlike professional cameras, the VTech Kidizoom Video Camera is simplicity itself to operate. There are only a couple of buttons making it a breeze for young children to use the camera. The clear colour LCD display screen will delight your children because they will be able to see the results of their efforts immediately.

Included with the VTech Kidizoom video camera you also get a number of accessories including a USB cable, AV cable, wrist strap and 4 AA batteries. The wrist strap is almost essential as it reduces the risk of loss when kids imaginations carry them off on other games.

If your child has a creative leaning, why not buy him or her the VTech Kidizoom Video Camera this Christmas? Available from Amazon Here
