Product Information

Movie: Shoot a movie. Up to 5 minutes if using internal memory, 10 minutes if using a Micro SD card. The resolution is 320x240 pixels. As the iPhone isn’t quite as robust as some of the other entries on our list, it’s better suited to older children, though there are plenty of tough cases available to protect it. For teenagers looking to get serious about their photos or study photography, the Canon EOS 2000D is an excellent choice. When you’re not taking photos, there’s a photo editor in which existing photos can be tweaked. And for those long car journeys, the VTech Kidizoom comes armed with five surprisingly fun video games. Cuteness overload with Kidizoom’s frames.

First, its image quality is functional but poor, even when you factor in its price. Furthermore, its 320×240 video resolution is below that of VHS tapes. Rotating the Kidizoom’s lens ring activates the Sepia filter It features a 12MP main camera, a 7MP selfie camera, and can record video at up to 4K. As an iOS device, it also has access to a whole world of photo applications on the App Store, and photos can be easily shared online. Of course, you might be saying – it’s a kids’ camera, man; what are you on about? Well, I agree, and that leads me to the next problem. Ergonomics

The camera feels well built and robust. It is completely covered in grippy rubber around the edges, which means it should withstand being dropped from child height. The two grips are great for little fingers, enabling kids to hold the camera comfortably with both hands.

There are loads of filters and effects built in, allowing for plenty of creativity. And, if paired with a smartphone it can share printed images straight to social media and even be used to print photos that have been taken on the phone. There are of course parental control settings, to control the play time allowed on the 5 built in games. In my case, we bought a Kidizoom Due for our 5-year-old daughter, and she loves it despite being barely able to operate it. In contrast, when my son was around the same age, he inherited an old Canon Powershot A620 – a vastly superior camera that in my opinion – is easier to use. The Vtech Kidizoom Duo is not an easy camera to use. For instance, the Kidizoom is burdened with multi-tier menus and twelve separate control points – some of which integrate multiple functions. As a result, the Kidizoom Due is no easier to use than my wife’s Sony A5000.On the bottom of the camera there is a micro USB port for connecting the camera to the computer and a MicroSD card slot to expand the memory. In itself, the Vtech Kidizoom Duo is a well-made product with a very generous feature set. I also get the feeling a lot of love went into its design. However, the Kidizoom Duo does have some problems. Image Quality For beginners there are fully automatic modes, including intelligent scene settings for food photography, night photography, sports and more. For users looking to expand their creativity, there are also manual modes and onboard creative filters. The 2000D also offers Full HD video recording and can connect to your smartphone over Wi-Fi using the Canon Connect app. Overall, the Vtech Kidizoom Duo is a fantastic idea to get younger children interested in photography. Not only does it keep them engaged, with fun noises and modes, it also lets them explore creatively and develop photographic skills. When they get bored of the camera function, they can also play games, making it a great choice for a day out. They'll be able to capture memories for themselves, and keep themselves amused no matter where you go.

The only thing to keep in mind is the cost of the film. Polaroid i-Type film can be a little costly, so this camera is best suited to older children who can pace their shots. Like all cameras these days, the Vtech Kidizoom Duo records videos. Specifically, the Kidizoom camera can record 320×240 videos for up to ten minutes. The photo was taken with a Vtech Kidizoom Duo 5 Connectivity and Power Images are pretty basic as you can expect from a 2-megapixel camera aimed at children. They're clear enough for seeing on the camera's screen. If you wish to print them you'll be able to get away with 8x6 inch images at the largest.The camera doesn't feature any manual controls, with everything decided automatically. Although you can turn flash off or to auto mode yourself as well as set a timer. In the settings menu there is the option to change the image resolution of the front camera from 2 megapixels to 0.3 megapixels, to save memory space if your child is snap-happy. You can also choose to turn photo optimisation on or off, and there is the option of a self timer mode too. Amazingly, and unlike the thousand-dollar cameras I usually write about, the Kidizoom Duo features built-in memory. While it’s only 256MB, the Kidizoom is good to go as soon as you feed it four AA batteries. But in the long run, 256MB is not enough, and you’ll need to invest in a card for Kidizoom’s Micro SD slot.
