The new Kidizoom Video Camera takes VTech’s idea of child friendly cameras and builds it into a small video camera, so as well as photos, you can now record and edit video clips.

OK, lets get this straight: this is not going to replace your family video camera!

With a 1.8″ screen, 256MB memory  and a 4x digital zoom, the camera doesn’t have the  latest and greatest features, but they are adequate for the job and work admirably in this form factor for kids.

If your child turns out to be the next Steven Spielberg, then you can increase the memory by adding an SD card, and they can hold their own premiere, by using the TV connection to play back their creations!

Note: product requires 4 x AA batteries, which are included, along with a wrist strap.

As with all VTech’s products, you can get the Kidizoom Video Camera in pink or blue.
