I would read the reviews posted on the Fisher Price page: doesn't sound good! http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=2621&e=mainproduct&pid=44529&acccat=cameracc&mainid=44529#reviews

We have a LeapPad, it's pretty expensive to load it up with games/books and doesn't seem worth the high price tag. I am considering returning it for a Vtech. The camera on the LeapPad is OK, but now I realize I would rather have the option to load music and movies.

No idea, but I'd avoid it. Our daughter used it for 1 day and the screen developed vertical lines that will not clear up. Fisher Price is actually going to send me money...about $75 for the camera.

I had problems from day one the tablet is very cheaply made. I got my son a nook hd, because i can set up his own profile,and you can download google playstore and get alot of the apps from amazon, yopu can also add memory. Downside no camera but can leave with that. I have a nook hd+ for me and really enjoy it i get the best of both worlds without the price.

Hi There! I would say...after playing a little with both...that they are quite equal! I like the Leap Frog Learning Path. It is great to see how my son is doing and what he is learning. Vtech has a similar, but not as parent oriented program..its called vsmile world or something. The part I really like about the VSmile is that you can play the same games in their home game systems as well. I am getting my son the new Vsmile Motion for Xmas. It is like a Wii for younger kids. It will play all of the Vsmile games as well. Very cool. I would say they are both excellent choices...but I have always liked Vtech products. I might be a little biased...who knows!??! Good Luck! Hope this helps!

Yes I picked it up yesterday. Black only. Best Buy at Willowbrook in Houston. Went to BB site, searched for cam, and it gives list of local stores. Sunday there two store, Monday just one, but I have cam in hand. Haven't had chance to play with it yet, tonight is the night. Few quick obs, don't like that battery has to be charged in camera, so had to purchase charger, no case at all. At first glance I don't see a lot pof capability for aperture or shutter priority, but it may be in a menu screen somewhere. Will report back after trip this weekend.

I would say that the InnoTab is going to be too easy for an 8 year old, especially if she's very bright. I asked my husband for suggestions (he's the tech guru in the family) and he couldn't come up with anything under $100. He said she was too young for an iPad (and that's obviously much too expensive), but a Kindle Fire would be ok. Those are still way over your budget, but that's the only suggestion we have. Sorry we couldn't be more help!

Thanks! My grandson is 7months old. I was looking at leapster but daughter-in-law says she's heard vtech is better. Which is best & there seems to be different programs which is best for his age?

Yes! And they are great!!! I bought a tablet for my 3 year old he dropped it the first week he had it and they sent me a complete refund within days once I sent it to them! You know how kids can be they want everything now and when you can't give it to them at times they can make your life crazy with the constant when is it coming question ... Well I had my replacement for him within 1 weeks time! Square Trade is an excellent service and i would recommend it to anyone. Because Accidents do happen, and there low cost coverage and fast and easy service made it all worth it!

I never had the Vtech but my sons small metal magnet Thomas trains fit the track. There's so much stuff that comes with it that my boys just play with the wooden trains & cars anyway. It's not your Pottery Barn quality but seems to work fine.

Oh... The gel grip is good so it doesn't slip out of kids hands but the warranty from square trade is even better. Can be bought even after he purchase so long as u can email or upload the receipt. Will replace ur leappad if drops and breaks.... Which is possible. Get the one that has accidental coverage. It's a little more but worth it.

I think that leapfrog has discontinued their line of magnetic toys - I know the "Fridge Phonics" one is also listed for $100+. Totally insane that anyone would charge that (or that anyone would pay it). I'd check craigslist or eBay for a used one.

Just checking, the Leapad does NOT play videos or music? We were about to buy it for my 5 years old nephew, but I we want something that can play movies and music, so we don't have carry his portable dvd player along anymore, or use our phones for him to watch videos or listen to music. I had not even considered the Innotab, but being able to play videos and music on the tablet is hands down better than having a built in camera, imo. Could somebody confirm this, thank you.

Just so you guys know, B&H; Photo has the NEW version HKG0PLAY5BLK, for $299.99 w/free shipping. You have to "add it to cart" to get the price. Don't know for how long, though. Oh,yeah, picked one up!

Sorry. We have the Apple apps so I don't know. The app for Iproducts is basically a ridiculous pretend dictionary of sounds. I can say that neither of my kids has looked at the apps or the Furbys since they got them. Terrible waste of a lot of grandparents' money. For what they do, I'd say they're worth about $10. Sorry, but I'm very disappointed by the Furbys.

Tracy, I love my Coolpix L620 because it takes great pictures in low light without requiring the flash. It focuses slowly so I would hesitate to recommend it for an active 2-yr old. Now if you want to take pictures of the child playing quietly in the sandbox or sleeping soundly during naptime, it would be excellent. It is a nice size with a large zoom capability. I carry mine in my purse always. As for others complaining about this camera burning through batteries, I like the fact that it takes normal over the counter batteries (Lithium AA). I have no trouble with battery life at all and get a couple hundred pics out of a set of batteries.

I know this is someone elses post but I am debating the same thing. I myself am looking for a high quality resolution with the crispest photos out there. I really dont care about any gps feature but whether its indoors or out I want crispness. Mostly I use it for taking photos of my toddler. Any suggestions or help?
