Cheap digital camera for a child

ali99

Hello all

Having read all the advice on this site about kids digital cameras, I have decided to get my five year old girl a cheap adult digital camera rather than one designed for kids. I have seen one on the tescos site for £19.97 (Technika SH-340T Red Digital Camera) http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.202-7739.aspx and one on currys for £29.99 (Praktica Slim315 Red digital camera). They look very similar but the praktica comes with a case and the software and the technika comes with nothing. I wondered if you think either of those would be any good or do you recommend another for a similar sort of price?
And I know with the vtech kids camera you can do fun things like put hats on your pictures - can you buy any kind of software to play games with photos on your computer?
Thanks
Ali

Hi you can download alsorts of software that do different things kodak is good I have that one and it's free to download off kodak...also does cartoon mode...but getting back into the real world a camera for a 5 year old well the cheaper the better really as 5 years old I wouldn't expect it to last long at that age...sorry but that's life...hope this helps happy holidays :xmastree:
