Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Hello Kitty: Digital Camera VGA with Flash Software
Customer Review: Way too hard to operate
Summary: 1 Stars
First, I want to defend this camera's lack of an LCD viewscreen--really unrealistic to expect something like that at this price point.
What's wrong with this camera is that it tries to do so many different things that it doesn't do the one thing it NEEDS to do well--i.e., take a picture with the push of a button.
This product would be much better if you took out all the settings (what kid needs different resolution settings on a cheap camera, for crying out loud?) and simply put in an auto-flash. As it is, you must consult the manual, push the mode button until you find the correct symbol for the flash (which is NOT intuitive, so you'll need to carry the manual with you), press the shutter button to turn the flash on, wait for the little red light to come on, and THEN you can take a picture. Then you shut it off or it goes off by itself after a very short period of inactivity, and the next time you want to take a picture you have to do it ALL OVER AGAIN!
Oh, and did I mention that it won't take a picture if there isn't enough light (there wasn't even in the brightest room in my house), so you MUST use the flash?
Clearly, the makers of this product did not test it on real children. Heck, MY digital camera is easier to use than this! We never even got to see the picture quality--after trying to get it to even take a picture, I knew this was going back to the store ASAP!

I would hate anyone else to fall into the same problems we have had with this camera. Especially because this product is intended for a child, they will be so disappointed if they receive this horrible camera.
We bought this for my daughter to take on a field trip with school. Thankfully we tried to download the software and use the camera before she went on her trip, otherwise we would have had one disappointed little girl to have taken so many pictures that we can't get off the camera!
We will be looking into a much better product or just a standard camera for her trip. The unfortunate part is the distributors already have our money and that's all they care about, rather than delivering a good product. I can't stand corporations like this one, SO DO NOT PURCHASE THIS CAMERA!!! DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO THESE THEIVES!
Customer Review: Junk!!!

This camera is junk!!! Dont waste your money, you are paying for the cute Hello Kitty! I got this for my daughter and she was SOOOOOOo excited!!! her excitement was quickly lost when she could hardly work the thing. I could hardly work the thing!!! I am very technical, so working a camera should not be difficult!!! The few pictures we did manage to take looked horrible!!!!! Dark, extremely grainy, HORRIBLE!!!!!!! I've seen webcams take better pics than this piece of junk!!!
I returned it that night!! no thank you!
If you want to get your child a camera, you're better off buying them a second hand REAL camera. For the price you pay for these novelty cameras, you're just throwing your money away! It will end up in the bottom of a toy box! Mark my words!!
Customer Review: NOT WORTH IT!

We bought this camera for our daughter's 6th birthday, she was so happy and spent all day taking pictures of everything. Then I tried to put the pictures on the computer and all I got was 11 pictures of rainbows, every picture blurred so bad they were just streaks of colored light - the quality is HORRIBLE, you can hardly make out what the pcture is supposed to be of - this was even the case when I took a picture (and I placed the camera on a bookshelf to avoid it moving while taking the picture).
The software is a problem to install and use. When I tried to upload the pictures they remain on the camera so you can easily fill it up and not be able to use.
overall this was a huge disappointment, save your money and avoid this agrevating product.
Customer Review: poor design

When the batteries die, all the pics are lost.
The camera continues to use battery power unless it's plugged in with the USB cable.
The instructions say that when I plug in the the USB to my Mac, the pics will automatically transfer -- doesn't happen. I can't even get my computer to recognize that the Hello Kitty camera is plugged in. I would try the PC, but when I opened the clamshell packaging with scissors, I cut the CD - oops. The Website has not be helpful to date.
So far, we lost my daughter's first round of pics, and I can't view the current round.
don't buy this camera. Also, kids like being able to see the pics immediately. Get a camera with a display. This one doesn't have one.
