Anyone want to reccomment any of the cameras geared towards toddlers? I have twin nephews age 2 and their dad is a photographer by hobby and I was thinking of getting them a digital camera. However I was curious to know how good they were and if they were worth getting.

Thanks in advance

This is a pretty thorough review (although it might be a bit outdated):

We have the FP kids camera and honestly it never gets used. DS2 is too young and DS1 is too old - the pictures are grainy and I think DS1 would have done better with a low end real camera. DS2 was interested briefly, but not anymore. Maybe I will pull it out again and see if it impresses him now.

I've got the same question. Any reviews on the newer FP camera or the V-Tech this year. Have any of them gotten any better.

DS will be 5 a few weeks after Christmas, so our situation is a little different. We're considering buying a used digital off of Craigslist or similar for $50-75. We'll look for a lanyard to put around his neck (with supervision so he doesn't choke himself!) and encourage him to use the camera like that.
