Ourlife Kids Camera-Blue

I got two of these cameras for my 5 and 3 y.o. grandsons who love making photos. The older one, in particular, is fascinated with my DSLR as well as iphone photography so I was looking for a camera to suit his early interest in photography and to be simple enough for his younger brother to use at a 3 y.o. level. This little camera packs a big punch with all the features to keep the squirts happily clicking. It's quick for the adults to learn and teach tiny fingers so the kids are off and running independently. One camera arrived charged with SD card formatted; the other required I do that. Instruction guide is clear and easy to follow. Selfie mode is popular and waterproof cases work nicely for taking the camera out in the snow, not only actual underwater. I am not in the household where the kids live so I can't speak to any problems that have surfaced except for one: the pre-charged camera appeared to not re-charge (USB to computer) - i.e. the red charging light did not blink, but when checked, it actually had charged. We will keep an eye on that. All reviews raved about customer service so I am not worried. The cameras arrived quickly with all their accessories. The 5 y.o. wanted to try out the mini-tripod which seems a bit wonky and may have a broken leg. The only minor negative with the camera is that it does have four pre-installed games. (not what I was looking for) How can a 5 y.o. recognize a games icon as we moved through the menu?!?! Well, he did, but I truly believe he is more fascinated with taking photos than playing games, much to my delight. He has already begun setting up his toys to make still life photos! The camera also has video capability as well as a variety of frames and color modes which will be explored in due time. While these have an internal battery which, once it weakens and can no longer hold a charge, will not last forever. Once gone, the camera will be kaput. At $39.99, it's still a wonderful investment in kids' independent creativity! Full disclosure, I purchased camera cases at $20 each which I would not recommend to others. What worked better was giving each kid a fabric zippered case (mine were from long ago international flights) to store all the accessories. The squirts still love the hard cases to open/close, zip/unzip for special stuff, just not the cameras. No question, I recommend these as gifts for 3 y.o. and up.

We took it to Seaworld aquatica waterpark and used it for two days straight I did charge it at the end of the night but it seem to keep a good charge throughout the day the second day my six-year-old had it around his neck most of the day and was recording not knowing so that did kill the battery a lot quicker but it still seem to hold that battery charge for almost the whole day even though it was showing only one bar it’s very easy to use super cute it has an option on there if you push the side arrows while in picture mode it has different little graphic frames and silly sunglasses or wigs that can fit around your face if you take a picture it’s also has lights that turn on if you press the OK button while in picture mode you can turn the lights on or off to take pictures in the dark or video it comes with a little memory card eight gigs I believe and I have taken tons of pictures underwater in the sun and in dark rooms they came out great and the memory card still not full so for now it’s still working great it comes with the small USB drive that you take the card out of the side of the camera and slide it into the USB drive and I’m assuming you put that in your computer to download the pictures I haven’t done that yet or tried that yet I’ve only had it for a few days so I can update this post a couple months from now to see how it still doing my four-year-old and six-year-old love this camera Overall I think this camera is great it’s a lot cheaper than the VTEC one that my son was asking me for and to me it’s just like a GoPro it comes with all the little attachments that you can attach it to your bike handle or something else in a little stand so if you’re looking for a cheap GoPro this is a very good option and works great

We like this camera.It seems to take a bit nicer of photos than some other kid cameras we have used. We really like the selfie ability and the ease of flipping between modes for that. One small complaint is the choices of button placement. For a three year old, it is a bit complicated to see the photos that were taken (they want to see the picture immediately and it takes a good 3-4 button pushes to find them), and it is a bit too easy to delete a photo (one click of a button brings up the delete option for the previously-taken photo). That said, given some time, a three year old can navigate the camera pretty well. One bigger complaint is that our original camera died after one day. After using only one day (after fully charging), the camera shut down. We recharged until the charging light turned off, indicating it was again fully charged. Unfortunately, the camera never turned back on. The company, however, responded very quickly to an email regarding the camera difficulties we experienced and we received a replacement camera within a few days. Excellent customer service. Six months later, no troubles with the replacement shutting down and not restarting, and the three-year-old user has quickly learning the ropes of the buttons.

This kids camera is so pretty cool and the operation is very simple, so great for a beginner. The outer carrier is silicon material which protects the camera from the younger kids' rough use or accidental drops. It comes with all the necessary stuff that you need for video recording and capturing pictures. The camera has different features such as video, mini games for kids, an MP3 player for music, different filters you can add to the pictures, just lots of fun things that kids love!! It also comes with so many accessories like the mini tripod, memory card, waterproof case, and different attachments for such a great value. My grandkids had a blast when we were at the hotel on vacation trying to take each other's pictures underwater. My grandson had tons of fun just playing with the different filters that the camera came with, taking pictures and showing his “pawpaw” how cool the camera is to take pictures with the filters. Nice waterproof camera, lots of fun!

Our girls have absolutely loved taking pictures with the OurLife kids camera. Good quality photos, they LOVE the waterproof case that they can take in the bath & swimming. Its really durable and has survived SO MANY drops without as much as a scratch. The pictures they take are so adorable. It's VERY easy to use. The girls didn't even need instruction to figure out what buttons to press (ages 4 & 6). And it's priced so well that we want to get another so each daughter has one to take their own photos with! We're looking forward to taking this camping with us to see what kind of photos the girls want to take of nature. We definitely recommend this as a great option for a family-friendly camera for the kids!

I bought 2 of those for my twins for Christmas 2019. One stopped working within 24 hours. We thought one of the kids got rough with it and got an exchange. The return and exchange was a very smooth process, no questions asked, and the new camera arrived even before we made the return. The quality of the pictures are far from great and the screen itself doesn't show a great image, but I knew that from other reviews and my goal was for my kids to start understanding how cameras work and how to take pictures. They are rough and they don't care about the quality, they just want to take pictures of whatever so this it the perfect one. And I didn't want silly games on the camera as other products have. They come with a waterproof case (I didn't dare testing it more than pictures in the rain) and a "kidproof" rubber holder as well as a lanyard. I don't let my kids take pictures without the rubber on ever since the first camera broke. The new camera worked great until it didn't again soon after. The other one is still working without issues. Then 5 days ago, the broken one worked again, just like that, out of the blue, when the kids tried it after a couple months without touching it. But then, after a few hours (turn on, turn off for a while and on again, etc.) it stopped turning on again and is still not turning on. I guess it is a gamble whether you will be getting one that works or one that will stop working within hours. For us, out of 3, only one keeps working. Odds are not in your favor.

Nice easy to use but the rubber buttons on the case don't match the ones on the camera camera is video and video is camera

Just realized I never wrote a review on this product. My son has had this digital camera for about 4 years now and he still loves it. It works just as great and when he opened it for Christmas. It has survived many trips and vacations and has provided a lot of fun for him and his friends. It’s super light-weight and easy to use. It’s also adorable.

The camera would charge but not switch on so it was returned.

Un bonito regalo para niños, no la hemos explotado del todo.

Le encantó a mi hijo. Tiene materiales muy resistentes y es fácil de usar.

Haven’t tried in the water yet, but so far loving it.

Excelente producto y de buena calidad (pensando en un artículo para niños), viene con blister de protección y funda para el agua tipo cámara de acción.
