Ok, so now they have digital cameras for kids. i can't believe I am saying this because it ages me slightly (ok, a lot), but when I was a kid we used disposable and had to get pictures developed!!!!
Now that my old person side of view is out, I'll flip to the other side. I think that this product is fantastic- it encourages the expressive and artistic side of kids, gives them a cool hobby, may keep them out of trouble (depending on what they're shooting lol). But I think they're so neat- you can drop them, get them wet, lightweight, some have a neck strap, built-in-flash, usb hook-up, and they look cute and fun!
So when I see the Fisher Price commercial with the little girl dropping her camera, spilling stuff on it etc. I can't help but think of two huge markets for this product, other than kids: clumsy accident-prone people and of course, drunk people.
I know some of you readers (albeit whichever category you fit into), have dropped your precious digi, spilled something on it or broke it. I myself, while in Miami with my friends on Spring Break was taking pictures right at the water's edge, dropped my camera and did not have enough time to save it from a giant wave. I would assume that you are assuming that I was in the drunk people category; however I was not.Perhaps I did have the 11:00 a.m. beach drink special, but that and only that, I swear. What I neglected to mention was that my camera went for a salty-ocean dip in the Atlantic the DAY BEFORE the Justin Timberlake concert. A tragedy really, I don't care if you don't like him, anyone can relate to that- it would suck and yup it did!
So anyways, to all those constantly tripping, two-left footers, accident prone people, and all you people who drink beyond their capacity, perhaps this holiday season ask Santa for your very own, kids digi camera, batteries not included.
