Great camera for young kids! [Posted on 2002-02-08]
Every Christmas wish list my 4.5 yr/old daughter made included a Barbie Camera. Knowing she didn't have the patience for a film camera and an instant camera could be expensive, the Barbie Digital camera seemed the best choice. She loved it! Thanks to the experience of other reviewers, I was able to load the software and hook up the camera without too much trouble. She runs around the house taking pictures of whatever she wants and gets the immediate feedback when we upload them. She doesn't care about the low resolution and I don't care how often she cuts my head off when taking my picture. A flash would have been nice as it limits indoor picture taking during the winter. The simplicity of this camera might make it unappealing to older children, but it's great for younger ones.
Good camera, poor resolution [Posted on 2002-02-21]
The appearance of this camera will appeal to girls (it did to my daughter) but the resolution is so poor you can't get a good picture. For girls the image editor will let them put what looks like them into a picture with Barbie, and they will find that fun...
Photo Bug Learning [Posted on 2002-03-01]
this camera does a great job of teaching young and old how to operate a digital camera. Had fun playing with camera and cd and Barbie Digital Makeover cd...with my 3 granddaughters. One is really interested in taking photos (she is l0) and really enjoyed learning how to operate these things. Not a great quality photo, but for the price, is great fun and a great learning tool.
OK [Posted on 2002-12-29]
This camera will only work when connected to your computer. If you want to use it handheld, tough luck. It is a medioker quality camera(but what can you expect fron Barbie?) The editing software is pretty good. But you are limited to only a few backround pictures. The camera does not have a screen to look through, it is just like an ordinary camera, which I found quite disapointing. Overall, this product is pretty good for Barbie items, but if you want a really good digital camera, get a Nikon or something better than Barbie.
No Support Options - What a Let Down [Posted on 2003-02-17]
I bought this product Barbie Photo Designer for my niece and needed to obtain support for the software and find drivers for the camera, the CD warped in the sun...Kids! Anyway after two days of searching and wild goose chases, I found that Mattel Interactive has gone under and Mattel Customer Service will not respond to my email requests for support.
