OMG, it is so adorable. Wonder why Walmart only has it in pink, I need one in blue.

I purchased the FP digial camera for my son for Christmas last year. I found it on sale @ Kohl's for $20. Quite a deal, as the camera in my opinion is way over priced. My son was 2 1/2 when we gave it to him but a little young for it I think. You have to hold the camera very still for 1-2 seconds in order for the picture to actually take. The resolution is pretty poor so don't plan on actually uploading the photos to save. He loves carrying it around now at 3and taking pictures, and he can review them himself and recall what the photo is of. The screen is actually a decent size, but the numbers(to count the photos) show up on the screen are big and block a portion of the photo. I think it's a great toy, but I wouldn't pay full price ($50) for it.

My SIL got this for our almost-3 year old, and he loves it! If you make sure you're getting the newer model, it has a high(er) resolution setting and takes a card. We got a 1 GB card at buy.com for $10 shipped, and voila, he can take 2000+ pictures. He figured it out really quickly, and the thing is pretty bombproof. I'd recommend getting the camera case at the same time (we haven't yet), because it can collect grime.

My 4-year-old got this about a year ago. He loves taking photos with it. We haven't uploaded any photos to our computers, but he seems to have a good time taking pictures just like his dad, who is a professional photographer.
BTW - we used to let him use my point and shoot digital camera. Then he dropped it and broke the lens. The $50 for this camera seems like nothing in comparision to what it cost to replace my camera.
