Here is Wendy's new favorite toy. It is a Vivitar ViviCam 46 which we purchased for $19 at Wal-Mart. This is not the camera to get to capture important family memories or for that special vacation, but if you want to get a camera to hand to someone under the age of 3 and tell them to just go for it, so far this seems to be a decent pick. It takes triple-A batteries and requires an SD card, so the trip cost us a bit over $40 (Daddy went for the 4GB card and a big pack of batteries) but we figure the SD card would fit in our camera anyway in case the endeavor fails, and who doesn't need more batteries, right?
So, the Kodak camera is 12 megapixels with automatic flash and various photo settings. This one has 4.1 megapixels, no flash, and no real bells and whistles to speak of. Perfect! Fewer buttons. To get a little perspective, Daddy took a picture while Wendy was napping and wouldn't freak out that someone else was touching her camera. This is the result:
So, not amazing quality, but not terrible either. As a quick aside, this is a good time to introduce Brockett. He is our first child, a nine-year-old half Jack Russell half Beagle all awesome dog. If Wendy is anything like her mommy, this blog will end up featuring him heavily. He is a pretty willing model, particularly when he is comfortably settled into his favorite sunbeam spot.
So, how did Wendy do with her new camera? You be the judge!
Pictures Taken February 1-2, 2013:
This is but a small sample of the 73 pictures she snapped in the first two days of camera ownership, and I think there are some pretty cool ones in there. We are kind of waiting for her to get less enamored with her new toy, but so far she is still having lots of fun with it. Her first words when she gets up tend to be, "Where is my camera?" so I think the purchase so far is a success.
