Disney Pix Click Camera

[mom2faith]

I have to post this to warn other parents. This camera is really bad!!

It comes with various characters on the front, I got both the Disney Princess one and the High School Musical one, but you can get Pooh, Mickey, Hannah Montana, etc.

Here is the description from Amazon:
Disney Pix Click - High School Musical
Digital camera with flash, 1.1" color LCD view screen, and 2X zoom.
16 MB, stores 200+ photos.
Includes digital camera, strap, Disney Pix photo editiong software CD-ROM, USB cable, and User Guide
Easy Installation. You need: 300 MHz or faster processor; Windows 2000, ME, or XP; 300 MB free hard



Here is my review:

• 1.3MP is VERY low quality, but I thought it would be OK for a kid - I was wrong. You can barely make out what is in the photo.
• The Flash does nothing but white out the entire subject
• The buttons are hard to press and do not react immediately so photos end up blurry.
• The LCD screen is such poor quality that you can't make out what is on it. It is grainy, shadowy and very hard to see.
• It is NOT kid friendly at all!! I would say maybe 13 and up. But, even then, the quality is far to low to satisfy a teenager.

My vote is SAVE YOUR MONEY!! Avoid this purchase!!

Thanks for the review! I was looking at those.

I had the same issue with the Spiderman digital cam last year.

remember the Jam cam? same thing
or the Barbie camera years ago.
I think it's just not worth spending that money on toys, your much better off buying a real ($ cheap) camera for the kids.

Thank you for this review, I was looking at these! My uncle purchased a 3.2 mp camera on boxing day last year for my little cousin and decorated it with Hello Kitty stickers and she thought it came like that! She was happy - so easy to please the young ones with a little bit of imagination! hehe

I also brought two disney pix cameras for my kids. They were half price at Staples.
I was not looking for any kind of good quality photos or fancy features. I wanted the kids to be able to take the pics and view on the computer. They worked OK at the first few times and I started noticed some problem and they are finally dead. The screens did not work and the pics cannot be recongized in PC. The sad thing was my kids were so exicted and took lot of pictures with their new born cousins but the pictures can never been viewed.
