Summary: Great camera for young kids!
Review: Every Christmas wish list my 4.5 yr/old daughter made included a Barbie Camera. Knowing she didn't have the patience for a film camera and an instant camera could be expensive, the Barbie Digital camera seemed the best choice. She loved it! Thanks to the experience of other reviewers, I was able to load the software and hook up the camera without too much trouble. She runs around the house taking pictures of whatever she wants and gets the immediate feedback when we upload them. She doesn't care about the low resolution and I don't care how often she cuts my head off when taking my picture. A flash would have been nice as it limits indoor picture taking during the winter. The simplicity of this camera might make it unappealing to older children, but it's great for younger ones.

Summary: No Support Options - What a Let Down
Review: I bought this product Barbie Photo Designer for my niece and needed to obtain support for the software and find drivers for the camera, the CD warped in the sun...Kids! Anyway after two days of searching and wild goose chases, I found that Mattel Interactive has gone under and Mattel Customer Service will not respond to my email requests for support.

Summary: Pictures would not upload to my PC
Review: I may have another evaluation if I could see at least on picture. I installed everything as directed in the manual. Unfortunately the pictures would not upload to the PC. Then I went to the user manual and it told me to redirect my COM port settings for this (...) camera. I tried for hours for the sake of my daughter. Then I called technical support and was unable to reach them. Yikes.I'm returning the camera.

Summary: Good camera, poor resolution
Review: The appearance of this camera will appeal to girls (it did to my daughter) but the resolution is so poor you can't get a good picture. For girls the image editor will let them put what looks like them into a picture with Barbie, and they will find that fun...

Summary: Photo Bug Learning
Review: this camera does a great job of teaching young and old how to operate a digital camera. Had fun playing with camera and cd and Barbie Digital Makeover cd...with my 3 granddaughters. One is really interested in taking photos (she is l0) and really enjoyed learning how to operate these things. Not a great quality photo, but for the price, is great fun and a great learning tool.
