VTech Kidizoom Duo 5.0 Deluxe Digital Selfie Camera with MP3 Player and Headphones, Pink

Update to say that this camera takes 4 AA batteries. It does not "charge". I thought it was supposed to do that at first too, but all you have to do is replace the batteries! Remove the black panels on each side and you will find where to put them. It works perfectly fine and my daughter still loves it.Original reviewI was hesitant to buy this camera because there were no reviews yet. However, I am happy I did. I really wanted something that was more appropriate for my daughter who is about to turn 7, and I didn't want to buy an adult camera or child polaroid camera. Our old VTech camera was great for a toddler/ pre-schooler, but the resolution was horrible. Plus, the memory wasn't expandable and the screen was very small. This camera has everything we wanted, selfie mode, improved resolution for the photos, expandable memory, durable, two little "handles" so I can add a neck strap if I want, and the headphones are a huge bonus for her! She just opened it today and loves it! I will come back and update if anything goes wrong, but it is perfect!

My son loves this camera. He enjoys that games in it, which I’m amazed how good he is at at only 4 years old. The picture quality is fine for him. It has survived multiple drops already. Sometimes the batteries fly out, but not permanent damage.

My 4 and 5 year olds love their cameras. These are easy for them to use on their own. The screen size is great, and the picture quality is pretty good (as long as they have a steady hand). The games are easy to navigate and age appropriate. The selfie mode is is a household favorite. I recommend purchasing a memory card with it. They run out of space very quickly. We have not used the MP3 player on this. We have had them since Christmas, and they have been very durable. They have been dropped a few times on the carpet, with no resulting issues.

My 5 year old son loves this camera. I love the size and durability, but I wish the picture quality was better. I don’t understand why they added games to it. The picture effects are fun though. I would buy again because my son isn’t too concerned about the picture quality, to be honest he hardly looks at the pictures after he takes them. It’s been great for trips to the zoo and hikes and it keeps him from asking to use my phone to take pictures.

My 5 yr old Grandson loves this great camera even has games to play

This was a huge hit for a 7 year old girl’s birthday. She absolutely loves it and said I was the best mom in the world for giving it to her. It’s been almost two months and she still comes to me and says I’m the best mom for getting it for her. I like it because it has the camera and you can put music on it. She loves it because there are games and she pretends she has a phone like me to look at. I don’t like that it takes regular batteries and isn’t rechargeable. That being said, everything else this phone has outweighs that by miles. It’s really good.

My 5-year-old got this camera for his birthday and he was obsessed with it for probably two months. Just then he started to slowly use it less, but he still enjoys taking pictures and listening to music with it here and there. After figuring out all the possible features, it was easy for him to operate the camera on his own. I disabled the games just to avoid him being glued to it and not wanting to play with anything else. We added a bunch of songs to the memory card we bought separately. The sound quality is very good, with and without the headphones.

Purchased for my 7 year old daughter and she loves it.

Bought for my Granchildren, they love it. They are not gentle kids and it’s still working.

A little pricey but sturdy design

Funciona muy bien, la calidad de las fotos es aceptable, tiene marcos y efectos graciosos que mi niño de 3 años pudo manejar sin problemas, ademas de efectos de distorsion de voz, así que un niño más grande tampoco batallaría. Es excelente producto y muy resistente.Utiliza 4 pilas AA y le duran bastante. Tiene algo de memoria interna, pero se termina rápido, así que es necesario una memoria SD. (Intenté con una de 512Gb y la cámara nunca prendió, y después con una de 16Gb y funcionó bien, así que supongo que no tolera tanta capacidad.)**Actualización un año después ** La cámara sigue funcionando perfectamente, ha sufrido más caídas de las que puedo contar, y no muestra gran desgaste. Es un excelente producto.**Actualizacion 2o año** Definitivamente es la mejor compra que he hecho en cuanto a regalos para mi hijo. Sigue funcionando a la perfeccion. Ya no la usa tanto como antes, pero sigue agarrandola para tomar fotos y videos, jugar con las funciones de distorsion de voz, etc. Ahora su hermanito de 2 años la trae "de moda" y ha aguantado el uso que le da un niño de esa edad.

Bought 3 as Xmas gifts 2 have battery leaked & returned for refundBig disappointment for the kids !!

Camera was Christmas present for 7 year old girl. Very popular present and used almost continuously for 3 days. Camera has been knocked/dropped and is still working fine. Battery cover came off once and batteries came out - make sure you put them back in correctly. Working out the photo/video and game options is fairly intuitive and picked up quickly by your average 7 year old. Headphones are a welcome inclusion especially when games are being played. Good intro to photo framing and video content for young kids before they are of an age to get a phone with camera.
