I bought this camera for my 3 year old for the holidays. I liked the features and especially the ability to turn the camera around to take her picture. It's one of two things she asked for from Santa. So I HAD to get a camera.

I got the camera, and opened it up. I wanted it to be ready for her to just take out and start using once she opened it. Upon opening it the camera had scratches on the plastic and a worn spot next to one of the buttons. It looked like it was used. I contacted Amazon and they made an exchange effortless and easy.

Upon receiving the second camera, I noticed that the scratches were also on the new camera and in the same spots. As I am an engineer, and have experience with plastics housings, it is an indication that the mold for the housing is defective. The camera worked fine, but the housing is slightly blemished with scratches and what looks to be a wear mark.

I would exchange it but am out of time before the holidays and I'm pretty sure that a third camera would have the same blemishes. My advise to you is that if you buy this camera, it will work, but at this juncture, it will have blemishes on the plastic. Which in all likelihood it will have them after some use.

And again, Amazon was great in the return and I have no problem with them, but with the camera.
