The Kidizoom Action Cam's idea is better than its execution

The idea of a rugged action camera designed for kids is great — a GoPro-like device that can survive drops and splashes while letting kids document their world. The execution, unfortunately, falls short. The video quality is poor even by kids’-toy standards, the interface is clunky, and most kids lose interest after the first week. Skip this one and put the money toward literally anything else — a basic tablet with a rugged case will get them more mileage for creative play, or just hand them your old phone with the camera app open.
