My son is nearly 3 and he LOVED this camera. He is always trying to get his hands on our camera so having his own has been great. He has not put it down since it arrived. His hands were a little small and it did take him a while to get the hang of using it and he loves the little carry case it comes in. He has been running around with it and being a lively 3 year old it has been dropped a couple of times and surprisingly it has not broken and still works perfectly. The only suggestion I would have is to include a wrist strap I would highly recommend this camera.

Dick Smith’s Hot Wheels Digital Camera comes in a practical & cool carry case that instantly appealed to my 10yr old son.
I was impressed by the overall look& packaging of the camera but surprised it is so lightweight. I would be concerned about it being dropped
It was very easy to use. The instructions were clear & simple to understand.(Once I figured out that we needed to unscrew the battery compartment) My son had it all figured out in no time. We only needed to read the instructions for the ‘continuous shooting’ mode – Burst snapshot.
The quality of the pictures is average – for a childrens camera. Superior quality photos is not essential as children don’t care about that- they just love snapping away with their ‘own’ camera and being able to make thier own short video clips.
Overall, it’s a winner in my opinion. It looks cool and fun & it performs well.
My son loves having his very own camera & he is still showing it off to his friends.

Loved the case it came in, great for storage and helps to prevent damage, the tin case has an easy carry handle.
My 8 year old just loved that he could inter change the front face with various pictures of 3 cars from the Hot Wheels range.
While the camera is very lightweight and feels a bit plasticky was pleasantly surprised with the clear screen for the snaps he took as well as after uploading them. Was a bit difficult opening it up to put the batteries in and wish it came with a charger that I could connect to an electrical socket like a phone rather than batteries.
My son had no problem figuring out how to use it by himself and just needed a bit of help with downloading the pics and installing the software. He is very excited that he can use the camera to shoot still pictures to make into a short animated movie(for which he has the software already). Very reasonably priced too perfect for a Christmas or birthday gift!
The play and delete button with icons on it made it simple and easy for him to understand and use.

A fabulous gift for a hot wheels fan – or even a child that isn’t a fan! It’s their very own camera and they can change the look of it as often as they like with the interchangeable plates! Great creation!

The packaging is impressive and the tin a practical addition. I must admit though, I did think it very light and plastic when I picked it up…. however, given its plasticy feel it is surprisingly efficient and had all the features I expected, and more! Still shots, video, strap for little hands and the ability to upload your pics. Includes an installation CD and interchangeable covers. This would suit a budding photographer 6+ yrs, as my younger one found it a little difficult to navigate the function buttons. I have to also admit that its lightweight and compact appeal led me to taking it on my office Christmas dinner, perfect pics and it fit nicely into my clutch bag! The kids may have to fight me for it!

The camera comes in a great presented carry case with interchangable faces. FIrst impressions the camera looks really cool and grabbed my young sons attention. The camera itself feels a bit ‘cheap’ I would be hesitant to give to a younger child as I fear if it is dropped on tiles or outside I don’t think it would fare so well. I feel the RRP price of $39.95 is not great value for the product, and the price Dick Smith have on line is better value. As others have said the quality of the pictures on the screen are not great, but they do download to a great quality, have not seen how they ‘print’. One issue I found was when putting the batteries in – they are held by one small screw, unlike other electronic things where you put batteries in you have a latch or something to secure the lid before putting screws in. This did not so you had 3 batteries pushing up against the lid while trying to do up the small screw, so there is a lot of pressure pressing up against the lid.

My son is only 6yrs old and he found the buttons on the back a bit ‘stiff’ – something that obviously will become losser with use. I like how you can download the pictures with having to load the CD onto your computer.

An amazing product that brings a smile from ear to ear in children. They are able to view the photo they have taken and use the interchangeable face plates to create funky photos for their friends! Would definately recommend to other mums as a gift for their children or others.

We love the packaging it comes in and that the battery cover is attached (therefore hard to lose). Great for taking pictures during the day in good light. Although the pictures don’t look great on the preview screen, the look much better once downloaded on the computer. And we didn’t need to install the software to be able to download the pictures onto the computer.

My daughter (yes a tomboy) was so excited to get the Hot Wheels camera. It is perfect for little hands and the LCD display is a great size for the kids to view. Easy to delete crappy photos to make room for new ones. I love the carry case and my daughter slept with the camera last night. The interchangable faces are nice, so they can pick their favourite colour or car. It has already beenn dropped a few times, as kids do, but no damage at all, so I would say built to hold up against toddlers. The battery case has a small screw which I love so that batteries don’t get removed.

Kids love using cameras and this is a perfect mini sized camera for the kids to use on Christmas day!

The Hot wheels digital camera is great fun! My son loved it so much and it was very simple for him to take photos. The camera also comes in a very stylish metal carry case, and the camera has 3 faceplates so you can change the look of the camera. Overall the Hot wheels digital camera is a great for young boys who love taking photos!
