Looking For the Best Digital Camera for Kids? Our Top 3!

If you have started looking for a childrens camera online, you may well be feeling overwhelmed by the large range available. Every camera claims to be the very best digital camera for kids - but of course they all can't be the best!

What you have to remember is that the manufacturers of these kids cameras want to sell as many cameras as possible, in order to make the most money! This may sound harsh, but it's true!

To find out what really are the best of the best (and therefore what you should be spending your hard-earned cash on!) you need to take advantage of the hundreds - if not thousands - of consumer reviews that are posted online. This is where the Internet becomes your best friend - someone you can ask for advice and get it in spades! Best of all, it's free!

People who have tested kids digital cameras want to share their opinions with others and have no ulterior motive in doing so (unlike the companies who make them, who are fighting for customers in an increasingly competitive market place).

Of course, not everybody has exactly the same priorities when shopping for a camera for their child. If you are buying for a very young child, you will want it to be extremely tough and durable. For an older child, the quality of the photographs becomes more important. You may have a tight budget to stick to - or want to splash out!

Here are our current Top 3 digital cameras for kids - choices that are backed up by hundreds of customer reviews:

#1 Winfun Megapix Funcam

This camera is an absolute steal at less than $30, and is a perfect first digital camera for a very young child. It is very durable, incredibly easy to use and can be used as a hand-held games console (it comes with 12 games).

#2 Vtech Kidizoom Spin & Smile

This is perfect for the 3 - 8 year age group, comes in either pink or blue and is still great value for money at around $60. It has a 4 x digital zoom, a built in flash and comes with 5 games. The rotating lens is a fun feature, which allows kids to take pictures of themselves!

#3 Flip Video Camera

If you are looking for a digital camcorder for a teenager and are happy to spend $100 or more, this is the perfect purchase. Slim and sleek, it looks just like a cell phone and is really easy to use. Your teen can record hours of video in amazing HD, and then quickly share the footage on all the main social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter.
