Ooops! Perhaps it’s bit too early but I got Fitzand a special X’mas present. A digital camera for kids! Well maybe I am trying to make sure he doesn’t bug me for my cameras that often and uses his own instead but that’s yet to be confirmed. Found this pretty rugged Little Tikes digital camera in Toys’r’ Us yesterday night when we were in Orchard Rd.
It even has a LCD behind (yeah! a real LCD but of course the resolution is low and it’s maybe an inch or just slightly bigger), auto flash (!!!), stores 1000 pictures (damn, my biggest CF card can’t store that many!) and it’s supposed to be ‘rough & tough’. Powered by 4 AAA batteries in a compartment secured by 2 screws (yeah, good thinking there) and the box also says that it’s for kids 3 years and above. Hey wait! Fitzand’s gonna only turn 2 come January 2009! Nevermind that. With his interested in my cameras and capability to use a couple of them, I’m sure he’ll do well with it. By the time he’s 3, he’ll probably be bugging me for my TLRs. *sweat*
PS. Thanks to Noreen who’s gonna give Fitzand some teddy bear stickers to stick on this new toy of his. I’m sure she’s trying to distract him from wanting to play with her Fisheye2 which also has the same teddy bear sticker. Muwahahaha!
so cute…. but u still need my teddy bear sticker to make him like this so called digital camera….. LOL
Wah! Noreen, can you give me more? You practice some kind of black magic or something? I’ll need some to stick on my boss’s new Leica camera so that he’ll like me more and give me some bonus this year. Can? Can? Please~
if this gets spoilt u can peition toys’r’us for a kevlar made one instead
Ohh.. this is cute! I think this one comes a bit pricey… err?
Gerald, good idea!
Ethermoon … it’s about S$100 after discount (by using UOB credit card). I find the price reasonable as the ‘jelly digital camera’ I bought for him some time ago already cost me about $60. This comes with small LCD and flash while the ‘jelly’ one doesn’t.
got sound? lol
Jim, there’s only a little beep. Too bad no shutter sound or he’ll love it more. Hope he’ll enjoy playing with it. I’m waiting for the magic bear bear stickers from your hunnie, so I can stick ’em on this cam.
Wah.. power la.. are the view finder the 2 squares near the top? got stereo or 3D mode ah..? lol..
The 2 squares are actually the viewfinders. 😀
This is interesting, how many megapixel btw? How do u download the pics to the pc? Optical stabiliser?…just kidding 🙂
Jeff, I’ve not tried downloading the photos to take a look (yet). Perhaps I’ll do it this weekend. Oh, it does feature optical stablilizer, 20 megapixels, Leica lens, ISO up to 3200 and also a state-of-the-art wireless transfer to your PC. 😛 Interested in getting one? 😛
merry christmas… hope fitzand will like his new toy and the bear bear… hehehehe
Noreen, Merry Christmas to you too. Hope Jim will like his durian log cake and the glow glow … hehehehe
