!±8± A Round-Up of the Best Children's Digital Cameras

These days it seems everyone has a digital camera of their own to capture memories with, so it's no surprise that young children would want one too. However, a problem that many parents run into when purchasing their kids a digital camera is the price compared against the durability - unfortunately, the best digital cameras are not always kid friendly. The best digital camera for kids needs to be able to withstand numerous drops onto the floor, water damaged from juices and others liquids, and must be easy to use - no child wants to be confused by their new toy!! So, when choosing a kids camera, it is important to first ask yourself a few questions - how old is the child and have they used a camera before. These answers will help guide you through the choosing process.

At the top of the best digicams for kids list is a great product from Fisher Price. This camera is very reasonably priced (under £40), is great for preschool ages and is available in pink and blue. It features a rubberized handle that makes it easy to hold and is extremely durable. The camera has a 1.6-inch LCD screen, 1.3 mega pixels and 8 megabytes of storage space, allowing around 60 photos to be stored and more if you purchase a compatible SD card. Another bestselling camera is the VTech Kidizoom Plus. This camera is also incredibly durable, has a wide LCD screen and again is available in pink and blue. However, the features that sets this apartment from most other digital cameras for kids is the ability to hook up to a television or computer, the built in games, and the picture editing function that allows the user to edit the photo as soon as it's taken, all for around £40.

Another one of the best digital cameras for kids is really for the Toy Story lovers, and suitable for ages 6 and up. This camera, the Disney Toy Story 3 Pix Micro Secret Mission Kit holds up to 40 photos and allows kids to customise their photos with stamps, frames and Disney characters using the Disney Pix Photo Editing Software. The Pix Micro is the cheapest of the recommendations at just under £30.
