Mersh12000 said:I just bought this today (at Best Buy) for my 4 yo daughter and checked it out to see whether or not I'll keep it. The picture quality is what I expected (640 x 480), about the same as a Treo 650 camera. But the flash works, the controls seem pretty easy to use, & the Ariel design is cute. I have a Mac so I was worried that I wouldn't be able to transfer the photos to it. The USB cable (included) worked fine. My husband has a pc so I guess we'll have to use the Disney editing software on his computer. One thing though: I couldn't get the camera to turn off! It does shut itself off after 1 min., so I guess that's not really a problem.
All in all, it's a cute, kid-friendly colorful camera and we'll keep it (assuming my daughter will like it...).
BTW, I also looked at the Fisher Price camera but decided against it in that it seemed a little babyish in style and the Disney one is cheaper (& $10 off @ Best Buy through 12/9/06.
Can I assume that you're not talking about the "max" version (I don't think those are as cute as the other ones, but I really wanted the 3 megapixels).
My local Best Buy still had the max as of 2 days ago, but I see they are sold out on-line.
For those who've bought the max - did you find a camera case somewhere for it? All of the ones I've tried are just a TAD too small, I finally wound up getting a "medium"-sized bag from Target this morning.
Curious to hear from someone who's tried the 3mp max to see if it's any good. It's so new that I can't really find any user reviews anywhere.
DD6 is getting the max, DS3 is getting the Fisher Price. They'll both be thrilled.... I also thought about putting a picture of Santa on the memory card!!!
