Title: Skip this camera
Product review: After reading the reviews, I ordered the Vidster for my 7 year old without much research in to the product. What a mistake! The idea is great, but the reality is terrible. The memory on the camera is very, very small. He can tape only about 5 minutes max and less, of course, if he takes pictures. The original software editing disk arrived cracked. Mattel replaced it, but the second disk was inoperable as well. He used his camera off and on the entire first day and kept deleting and retaping. The batteries (4 AAs) lasted less than 24 hours. All and all, I would recommend to anyone that you skip this camera and buy a low end video camera that will coordinate with your own editing software and allow the child more taping time.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
