Digital Blue U-Turn Children's Camera Review Posted

Children's cameras should be safe to use, fun to use, and easy to use. (For that matter, all cameras should fit those descriptions.)

Throw in inexpensive, and you have described the Digital Blue U-Turn children's camera. I recently had a chance to review the U-Turn camera, and I was impressed. For about $50, young photographers won't receive much in the way of resolution (just 0.3 megapixels), but the U-Turn's list of fun features more than makes up for it. Kids easily can morph their photos while shooting them, or they can twist the camera's body for easy self-portraits.

However, my look at the U-Turn camera wouldn't be fair without hearing from some of those in the camera's projected customer group: Children. Each of the several children who tried out the U-Turn really enjoyed it. Pre-teens especially had fun with the camera. Although the U-Turn camera's resolution probably isn't enough for making medium- or large-sized prints, the image quality easily is good enough for sharing on the Internet or via e-mail ... perfect for tech-savvy kids, which, it seems, is all of them.
