This the only video camera that allows children to apply 18 special effects and music while filming and fully edit their videos after shooting using simple intuitive controls. A button changes the normal visual setting to one of three whimsical effect modes that warp and distort the images for comical effect; other controls alter the tempo of the distortion effects or apply color filters. Afterward, the footage can be edited using tools that cut and combine video sequences on the 1.5" LCD monitor. The included USB cables can be used to download all files to a PC, where the included software package provides additional editing capability and finer-tuned controls for combining still images, laying down audio tracks, and creating more special effects. It can also connect to a TV or to any iPod for creating music videos. With 32 MB of internal memory, the camera can record up to 2 1/2 minutes of video (or up to 800 low resolution images); an SD card slot enables expanded memory up to 2 GB (requires SD card). 4X digital zoom. Requires two AA batteries. Ages 8 and up. The manufacturer has confirmed that this item meets all U.S. Federal toy safety standards, including safety standards for lead. 4 3/4" H x 2" W x 1 1/2" D.
