Christmas 2006: Kid camera was popular item



2006-12-26 - Photo By Grand Dad. Don't be afraid If you come face to face with this sight. One of the most popular Christmas gifts this year was the Fisher-Price Kid Tough Camera. One of the lucky kids who got one was CM Staff Photographer Graham Waggener, 5. The $70 list price devices have two-eye viewing. They're for ages 3 years and up, and the big buttons make it easy for even grandparents to use. Best of all, if the photo is carefully composed, the resolution is fine for internet pictures, if only single axis cropping is performed. We hope to see some photos online from Graham and other young photographers in early January 2007. Use Contact/Submit buttons to send pictures by kids.
