I would agree with this statement. We have two, that my mom purchased for my boys...they play with them, but we never even bother to take the pictures off anymore since we can't even tell what they might be. It was a disappointment.
We also use ours only for play. My 2 yr old doesn't notice that he never gets to have his pictures and he stopped bugging us to use our camera. It was worth the $20 I spent on it for the peace and quiet! I certainly wouldn't have paid full price for it. But it certainly is tough since it still is working after being dropped many times.
