Now kids age 3 & Up can have their own digital camera - (and leave your $$$ one alone.)

SHOWCAM Digital Camera/Projector Under $50. This 2-in-1 camera lets kids 3 & up talk digital pictures (in a well-lit area) and then project them in a darkened area. Or snap pics and customize them with built-in software. Buttons, controls and grips are all kid-sized for easy use. There are over 50 ways to customize their pics and 3 ways to display them through the projector, so kids can create their own show over and over again. Then there’s the “Silly Button” to choose from lots of fun stamps, frames, animations and sound effects, then snap a funny picture. Another option is to set an automatic slideshow with fun sound effects through a mini onboard speaker. The ShowCam kids' camera can store approximately 1000 photos without a memory stick. Just like the built-in stamps and animations, you won't need any extra software to download and print your pics with your home computer - just your own USB cable (not included). MSRP is $59.99, but it's under $50 on Amazon. Also available at Target and many of the big box stores.
