My 9 year old son Lucas got a camera last weekend when we went to Best Buy. He’s been wanting one for awhile and after all his hard work to get on the honor roll how could I say no? Besides that he had a shiny Best Buy gift card just burning holes in his pockets. He is so in love with his little camera, he took hundreds of pictures with it already.

If I recall correctly the Disney Pix Max Pirates of the Carribean III Digital Camera holds 200 pictures, and he’s emptied it twice already and it has pictures on it again, and it’s almost full and ready to empty yet again.

I made a folder on my flickr account for some of his pictures, titled By Lucas. That gives me two little budding photographers now, Dylan and Lucas both have their very own cameras.

His first picture he took with the camera was a self portrait;
first picture - self portrait!

He spent an entire day taking pictures of Ethan and testing things out since Ethan is a little ham and doesn’t mind;
mmm juicebox

And then off to the park to show off his new camera to his friends and get some pics;
you lookin' at me?

The pictures taken outside definitely come out better than the ones he takes in the house. They aren’t going to take great wedding photos for your scrapbook, but for a 9 year old that just wants to snap pics of his friends and pets it’s pretty darn good!

Who knew that three little megapixels could bring such joy? Lucas is happy he has a camera to call his own, I’m happy it didn’t cost me a small fortune! So far I’m happy with the purchase as I am with most Disney gear purchases. It’s got a tough case, it came with everything he needed, and it even includes a kid friendly easy to use photo editing program, which we haven’t played with yet. You can use the program to add borders and Disney characters to your pictures so that should be fun for the boys to use.

I’ve read a lot of mixed reviews about these little Disney gadgets online. I’ll admit he has only had the camera for a week, so I can’t say that it’s going to last forever, but then again I don’t expect it to last anywhere near forever either. It’s basically a hi-tech toy. I’ve read a lot of places saying they are for pampered little rich kids with lots of money to spend. Sorry, my kids are not pampered, and we certainly don’t have a lot of money to spend! Far from it. Gees, it’s not like I bought him a new car for goodness sakes, it’s an inexpensive little camera for him to have some fun with. Remember fun?

I like the last picture. Have to say, you have one good photographer there.

I’m not surprised that the camera is taking fairly good pictures. One of my younger cousins was gifted the Fisher Price Kid Tough Digital Camera and it takes better pictures than my first digital camera about 6 years ago, and I paid $250 for a 4mpxl.

I’ve read good reviews on the new Disney cameras. They’re a great gift for kids, that’s for sure.
