Kids Can Record Their #GreatestSummerEver

This summer, VTech® Kidizoom® Action Cam can help your kids record their #GreatestSummerEver!  The easy to use, durable design allows children to take the Kidizoom right along with them on adventures – capturing their memories with photos and videos on the go.

Whether it’s a hike through the woods, using the included mount for your Kidizoom to capture a video of your bike ride, or just taking it along on a trek to the zoo… kids love having a camera of their own on these adventures.

My kids get ready to record some of their #GreatestSummerEver with the KidiZoom Action Cam, during a recent visit to the Denver Zoo.

My kids have been having a blast trying out the Kidizoom.  While my 10 year old has put in more time actually using it, my 4 year old also enjoy taking photos with it, and it was easy enough for him to figure out.

Before I even realized it was a feature, my daughter had discovered the games and was playing them in the car on our recent road trip to Denver.  It also didn’t take long for them to discover how to utilize the built in frames feature.

We found the design to be intuitive and easy to use.  It’s a great size, small and compact for young hands, with the bonus of not having to lug around heavy equipment.  The 1.4 inch color LCD screen is a little small, but it is sufficient.  The videos they recorded were high resolution, well focused, and of surprisingly good quality.

We leave the waterproof case on for extra protection, but be aware I think that reduces the audio sound recording level.

Kidizoom Action Cam included accessories

 

Some Kidizoom® Action Cam product highlights:

  • Includes a waterproof case for underwater adventures, mounting accessories for bikes and scooters, and a wrist strap.
  • Features three built-in games, stop motion and time-lapse options, as well as special effects including customized photo frames and filters.
  • Child-friendly camera can withstand drops and bumps and offers the choice of yellow or purple colors.
  • Comes with a rechargeable battery, micro USB cable for data transfer and battery charging, and expandable memory up to 32GB with a microSD card. (To store all your adventures, a microSD card is required. Sold separately).
  • Has photo/ video enhancing features, including stop motion and time-lapse options, as well as special effects including customized photo frames and filters.

As for the waterproof case, I’m never brave enough to truly dip a camera into water.  I think this is a very cool option, though, and we may have to record some of those fancy water gymnastics during one of our trips to the pool.

My daughter’s only complaint with the KidiZoom is that it doesn’t have a… wait for it… ZOOM!  At least not one that we could find.  But honestly, the recommended age range states 4-9, and I don’t think younger kids would even notice.  She’s just used to using adult cameras, and enjoys having a zoom feature.

I think this is a solid quality product for the price point, and one my kids both enjoy.  I like how it can withstand some bumps and bruises.   The KidiZoom is build for kids, but it’s not some “kiddie quality” psuedo cam – it’s the real deal, just housed in a well thought out design that’s tough, simple, and works well for children.

The Kidizoom® Action Cam is tough enough to keep up with your adventurous child, made for ages 4 and up, and retails for only $59.95.  It comes in a choice of two colors:  purple or yellow.

To give you an idea of the resulting photo quality, these are all samples of the photos that my kids took with the Kidizoom.  I’d say the best venue where they’ve been able to try out their action cam was during our summer visit to the Denver Zoo.  They got some great shots, and we are really pleased with the quality of the photos.
