• Capture every moment on the Kidizoom camera

I am so in two minds about these cameras for children. I'm pretty sure I can find an old digital camera on eBay for my toddler, but at the same time, this one may well last a lot longer!ly

Benefits of the VTech Kidizoom camera include the fact that it is durable and chunky, making it easy for little hands to hold. Technically speaking, it takes pictures, movies and  does voice recordings, which is not too shabby for something made for children! It has a four times digital zoom and a built in flash. There are even special effects for editing photos with frames, wacky effects and stamps. . At 2 megapixels it's not the best for posters and so on, but is still perfect for normal photos.

There's also a fun voice recording function with five effects: pitch shift up, pitch shift down, slow down, robot and echo. As well as all of this, the Kidizoom Twist Pink comes with five built in games, and with its SD card slot for storage, and as the blurb says, "your little ones will have all they need for hours of photographic fun."

My very first digital camera had 2.2 mega pixels and cost me over £250!  I know that was over 13 years ago and the technology was relatively new to the mass market, but even so I'm beginning to feel a bit ripped off now, all these years on, when you see the price of kid's cameras versus their spec'.

The Vtech Kidizoom Twist is a 2 mega pixel camera with twisting lens, so your little shooter can really feel like a pro.  It has 256 MB of storage and SD card slot for additional memory.

You can also shoot video and record voices with it and add special effects to your pictures.  The Vtech Kidizoom Twist can connect to the TV for viewing and to a computer for viewing and editing.

It has a dual viewfinder, has been built to withstand the rough and tumble associated with kids, whilst having a grown up look <---that's how the official blurb describes it, but I've never taken photographs with a pink or blue camera in my grown up pro-shooting capacity!

You can arrange to collect your pink or blue Vtech Kidizoom twist camera for free in-store at the Asda of your choice, or you can pay an additional £2.95 and have them deliver it to your home instead.

Happy snapping!
