Good concept, flawed executionOrdered this camera for my 4 year old son, and although it has its strong points, it has too many weaknesses to justify the hefty price tag.
Good points:
1) Seems very strong and durable
2) Simple controls
3) Battery life is quite good, with NiMH rechargables will last a good few days of heavy use
Bad points:
1) Picture quality is terrible, most pictures have a green-blue colour cast that is very noticable. Also the "film speed" is way too low, practically all photos are blurred, it's hard for young children to hold a camera rock-steady while they take a picture, so the camera should've have been programmed with this in mind with a high film speed (and fast shutter speed) to reduce this problem. As it is, if my son takes one usable picture in 100 it's a miracle. I wasn't expecting the camera to produce wonderful pics every time, my son's no Man Ray for sure, but he quickly lost interest when nothing turned out properly.
2) It would be great to see the (few) half decent pictures on our big screen. There is a cable included to connect the camera to a TV via the video-in port. But theres no picture on our TV, just snow. We live in Mexico (we brought the camera back after a trip to the UK) and maybe there's a compatibility problem, supposedly there's a setting to enable the pictures to be seen on on either european or US televisions, but switching to the US setting makes no difference (we bought the TV in the US so it's not that Mexican tvs have some weird idiosyncrasy). We're quite tecno literate here, we went through all the possible settings on the camera and the TV but nothing worked. So if you wish to buy this camera and use it ouside the UK or europe beware.
3) Despite being generally robust, the one weak point is the LCD screen. It got scratched within the first few hours and really should come with a replaceable plastic protector or some other method to protect it.
4)It comes loaded with games. If you want your kids to play computer games, then you won't have a problem. If you don't want your kids to play computer games, and would prefer them to use the camera to take pictures, then be prepared for them to spend all day playing the games instead. Although for many the games will be a nice touch, for many it's not, and VTECH should at least have included a parental override function to block the games function if, like us, you are keen that your kids use the camera as a camera.
Points 2, 3 and 4 aren't gamebreakers for us, but point 1 is the huge disappointment. With a picture quality this bad, it's practically worthless as a camera.

Best Nerf Gun Ever!I have four kids, so we have had a large selection of Nerf guns over the years. Recently we ordered three of these guns and I must say they are better than ANY other gun we have ever used by a significant margin. They are more accurate, shoot further are more reliable and easier to load than any of the other models we have ever played with. My problem now is that our battles normally involve five to ten people and EVERYONE wants to grab one of the N-Strike Mavericks. It looks like I will have to buy several more, but will also be able to clear some space by getting rid of the junkier models that are simply frustrating to play with! Per advice from one of the other raters, you do need to make sure you push the darts in firmly as you load to avoid the occasional jam.

| Value for moneyHi,
I bought this camera for my 6 year old daughter, after opting for it instead of a normal digital camera, and have found it to be a good buy. It is fun and durable, as it says on the packet, and the fact that it says 3+ doesn't mean it's too young for her, it's just a guide. She has had much more fun with it than she would a normal camera, as she can play games on long car journeys, play around with the simple editing features and have fun with friends adding different shapes and images to pictures, plus make fun longer videos when adding an SD card. And as it's simple to use, she was able to work out all the functions easily for herself. The screen could be bigger, and the photos aren't super high quality but certainly good enough...but it's about how much fun they can have with it, right? Good luck with your purchase.
