Shopping for Kids Digital Cameras Part 2

In our last post, Shopping for Kids Digital Cameras, we advised getting kids digital cameras that are durable and easy to use. Here we’ll go into a bit more detail on some of the additional features that will differentiate these digital cameras from each other. Again, this series focuses primarily on younger kids ages three and up. As kids get older and have more experience with digital cameras some of these will be less important and we’ll be touching on that topic in future posts.

Large LCD screen

Look for a camera with a large LCD screen. Kids will want to review pictures they’ve just taken and this will make it easier for them to see if they got the shot they wanted. This will be particularly important when they’re just starting out and figuring out how to frame shots to capture their subject. 

Binocular Viewfinder

Kids will generally have a much easier time taking pictures using both eyes rather than one. This is a popular feature that can get them going right away with digital photography.

Auto-shutoff feature

Kids digital cameras will go through batteries rather quickly without this type of feature. Remember, kids may put the camera down and forget to turn it off so this can be a very useful feature to have.

SD Card Memory Slot

Unlike most traditional digital cameras, kids digital cameras will offer internal as well as additional memory for taking pictures. Look on the packaging for mention of SD Card slot that will allow you to buy an additional SD memory card to take additional pictures. 

This will greatly extend the number of pictures your child can take without having to delete existing pictures from the camera. This is particularly important as you may not introduce picture management when they’re first getting started.

Easy to access compartments

You’ll want the most frequently used ports compartments to be easily accessible. For example, to transfer pictures to the computer you’ll be using the USB port. You want to make sure this is easy to get to for you, but not exposed so your child doesn’t. The same goes for the memory SD slot and battery compartments.

TV Port

Some cameras allow you to hook them up directly to the television using an included cable. This can be a fun feature so that you don’t first have to transfer to the PC to view the pictures. 

All of these features will of course vary from camera to camera and affect the price you pay. Try to pick the ones that are really important to you and set a budget when shopping for your first kids digital camera.

Of course this will make the traditional printing companies and governments in the third world into a panic because of their unpreparedness of information technology. . .

  50. financial spread betting says:

    Financial spread betting is a leveraged tool that gives investors the opportunity to trade the financial markets without ever taking physical ownership of the underlying instrument. This means that the trader/investor can speculate in the direction of any financial instrument, whether it is specific shares, currencies, commodities or indices without ever owning them. In the financial markets there are standard contract sizes. For example for the FTSE 100 index contract the standard market size is £10. With financial spread betting the investor nominates his own stake size, for example £2 per point. The bet is settled as the difference between the purchase and the sell price.Financial Spreads is appealing to ever greater numbers of investors for several reasons, not least of which is the absence of capital gains tax on profits (unlike conventional share trading, where CGT applies to trading gains in many countries), and the lack of stamp duty on transactions (most interesting in the UK; strictly speaking, the transaction is a bet, rather than an investment – hence the name.) However, by its very nature financial spread betting is more risky than traditional, fixed odds betting, or conventional traditional share trading, where participants are usually a little more protected. If you judge wrong, you are likely to lose a great deal in the absence of a stop loss and any losses made on a spread bet cannot be offset against capital gains on ordinary investments.The costs associated with financial spread betting are included in the spread (the difference between the bid and the offer price). Therefore the wider the spread, the more you pay to trade. So when considering a company to spread bet always compare the spread. The good news about the spreads is that these are generally getting tighter due to increased competition and explosive growth as investors are beginning to realise the advantages of financial spread betting; thus making the system more efficient.
