MINIBEAR Kids Camera Instant Print Camera for Kids Digital Camera Toddler Toys Christmas Birthday Gifts for 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Year Old Boys Girls, Pink

We got this for our oldest grandson when he turned 6 this past Spring. I was looking for a camera because he had been wanting a camera for the past several years - and had gotten a couple of old model digital cameras, but they went through way too many batteries. Our grandson saw a polaroid camera somewhere and loved the idea of cameras that instantly spit out photos, but those cameras and the film that goes with them are way too expensive and they just aren't practical for little kids. I decided to do a used camera hunt, but most of those cameras also required batteries and they didn't spit out photos. Then I decided to see if there were any cameras out there that made sense for a 6-year-old and I came across this little camera. It seemed perfect, so we bought it. Our grandson was beyond excited! As far as he was concerned, the simple little black and white images are absolutely perfect! It's so cute to watch him take pictures that he hands out to family members as mementos, or that he puts into a little collection box, or that he glues on paper to make books and projects. He and his sister also make little video stories with it for themselves to replay later, since the camera also can make videos. He has had it for over 5 months and he is still very creative with it. Unfortunately, one day the camera quit working properly, and unlike other times that my daughter was able to work through after getting instructions for it, this time was a bit of a camera tragedy. I contacted the MINIBEAR company through Amazon and the very helpful and friendly customer service person worked with me until she too came to the same conclusion that whatever happened to the camera seemed permanent. So the company sent my grandson a new camera! He was so excited to get his camera back that he turned it right on and went to work. He didn't have the broken one with him when I gave him the new one, and he missed the pictures he thought he had lost, but when his mother put the original SD card into the new camera,...voilà! There they were again! So if you're wondering if I would buy this camera again, then the answer is a resounding YES! We have another grandson and a granddaughter both turning 6 this year and the plan is to get them each a camera also because they have seen the first one and loved it. Are the black and white thermal images perfect? To the modern adult eye that is used to high definition digital photos, maybe not. But to the innocent creativity of a child, it's amazing! The camera itself records the images and videos in digital color and those photo images can be printed as color photos just like any other camera. This is an actual camera, even though it looks like a toy. I wouldn't really give it to a much younger child, just because they tend to toss things over their shoulder without giving it a thought, then wonder why it quit working. That's why we're waiting a bit to give cameras to the other two. I also suggest going ahead and buying some of the extra paper rolls they offer through MINIBEAR. I think the three rolls that come with the camera will give around 210 little pictures, but a little kid will happily take 210 pictures of everything he/she sees in no time, especially while the camera is still new. Keep in mind, the camera uses thermal paper - like the receipt paper from the store - so don't keep it stored in the car or anywhere it might get too hot, or the paper might not work for photos.

This instant print camera is one of the best toy gifts that you can get for any child. It's so much better than any other toys because it's very interactive and so much fun. With this, they can take pictures, record videos, listen to music and play simple puzzle games from the large LED screen on the back. It will keep them busy for hours with so many things you can do with it. The best part is that you can instantly print the photos you've taken in black and white. It has thermal printing technology so you never need to worry about running out of ink. The print speed and quality is very impressive. I would go ahead and buy the extra 10 rolls of papers because they will love going around taking photos and printing. In fact, there's option to buy the same camera but with 10 rolls of paper so I would recommend that option as it provides much better value for the money. The built-in rechargeable battery makes it very portable and allows you to take photos and print from anywhere without having to connect to a computer or AC outlet. If your kid is bored or is always on tablet or phone watching videos or playing games, then let them explore around the house to take pictures and print them then color them with this camera. They can also take selfie with their friends and clip the printed photos in their room. Highly recommend it!

For the price, this is great! My niece felt so happy going around taking photos and feeling like she had a real camera. There are also a lot of funny filters and sticker stuff she enjoyed playing around with. So for usability, this was great. That said, when you actually go to print the photos, the quality is really bad. It’s cool that it allows you to print, love the thought, but it doesn’t function well in practice. For the price, that’s absolutely expected and maybe for younger kids, they might not care, but for 6+ I think it made her disinterested in using since everyone is so used to sharper images these days

Out of the box, this product was cute and felt good. It is small and easy to hold as well for kids. A very cute product. For this price, it is worth it and I would recommend it to any parents for their kid.` My 2 cents below: Pros: - Has tons of features in a tiny camera. It has games too and even video can be recorded - Instant print works nice and picture quality is decent for kids - Decent build quality - Clear picture quality on the screen - Has a rechargeable battery and so no cost of using AA/AAA batteries - 3 print rolls included in the package - It’s a great gift option for kids as it comes in a nice packaging - Detailed instruction manual included for reference Cons: - Not the best picture and video quality but remember it is for kids and hence it is fine as per me

My niece was happy it does the job

A perfect gift for kids. Easy to use . You can has different modes to set it with. Can be changed to color and black and white. Can be set as auto print after taking photo. Comes with few printing rolls. Loved it
