The Kid Tough Digital Camera from Fisher-Price is rugged enough to go everywhere your child goes. With two-eye viewing, sturdy grips and a built-in flash, this real digital camera is designed to survive being dropped, and it is waterproof to protect against spills and splashes. This camera is a perfect way for kids aged three and up to document all their favorite things.

Two-eye viewing and a built-in flash make picture taking easy. View larger.

Kids love documenting their world (photo taken with the Kid Tough camera).

Big buttons are perfect for little hands.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Durable, easy way for kids to experience photography The Bad: May seem bulky in little hands In a Nutshell: This Fisher-Price camera really is Kid Tough. At a Glance Ages: 3 and up Requires: Four AAA batteries

Easy to Start Taking Pictures
An adult will need to use a screwdriver to install the four AAA batteries before kids get their hands on this camera. With a textured button on the front that releases the shutter and large buttons on the back that let little hands turn the camera on and off, browse through pictures and delete images, using this camera is so easy it doesn't need to come with instructions.

The fun, brightly colored body helps distinguish this camera from boring adult models, making it an instant favorite.

Kid-Friendly Technology
Kids can pick between using the live view on a 1.5-inch color LCD preview screen or looking through the two-eye viewer when taking pictures. The preview screen also lets kids look at pictures the moment after they take them. With a built-in flash that automatically illuminates darkened scenes, and a shutter noise that makes it easy to know when a picture has been taken, kids are sure to be delighted by their images.

The 64 MB built-in memory stores up to 500 pictures and eliminates the need for handling fragile and expensive memory cards. Two image resolution settings, 0.3 and 1.3 interpolated mega pixels, let kids take plenty of pictures and make 4 x 6-inch prints.

Fun, Durable Way to Encourage Creativity
With its big rubberized grips and sturdy construction, we found this camera lived up to its incredibly durable reputation. Able to easily withstand being dropped again and again and waterproof for 30 minutes in up to three feet of water, this camera can handle the rough reality of active play.

The heavy-duty construction that makes this camera so durable can also make it seem somewhat bulky for little hands, but this won't prevent kids from wanting to take it on all their adventures.

Older children and adults may be disappointed by the image quality, but higher resolutions would allow less pictures to be stored and decrease the amount of fun children have with this camera. Kids quickly find that there's plenty of resolution for exercising creative urges and documenting the wonders of everyday life.

The camera comes with a USB cable so pictures can be downloaded quickly and easily for editing and viewing. It is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Apple Mac OSX, Apple Mac OS9 and requires a USB port 1.1 or higher for computer connectivity.

My CHRISTmas gift this year
I can't wait to give this "SceneIt?Seinfeld" game to all my friends, especially my boss at work who LOVES Seinfeld."I can't wait to play myself to see if I know this show like I think I do.Everytime we talk about a certain show,I seem to know which episode its from,but this game really test you.
{If you want buy "Scene It? Seinfeld" for CHRISTmas,you better hurry.I looked for 2 weeks , went on line and finally found the game at a store in a different state. }

FUN
ONCE WE UNDERSTOOD THE DIRECTIONS, WE HAD A GREAT TIME WITH THIS. ANY SEINFELD FAN WOULD LIKE IT. THE ONLY QUESTIONS WE DID NOT LIKE WERE PERTAINING TO REAL NAMES OF GUEST ACTORS, DIRECTORS, ETC. OTHERWISE FUN QUESTIONS. CAN BE PLAYED WITH 2 TO 4 OR A BIG GROUP.

More for the casual fan...
I agree with the reviewers who say this a bit underwhelming. I know it just can't just be me, cause this is a show with so many die hard followers who can quote word for word. I mean the only hard questions are the ones about the random actors and their careers aside from Seinfeld... but even when I got a hard one I guessed and got it right. I didn't miss a question when I played.

Let me give you an example, they have a game where it plays a scene and bleeps out a word that you have to guess - they used a clip from The Soup Nazi episode and bleeped out Elaine saying "Soup Nazi".

I give it 3 stars because I love anything Seinfeld related. But if my girlfriend or I played anyone they would not have fun because we would be too good. And the generic Seinfeld bass music is annoying. Couldn't they get the actual song?

Prove your TV trivia prowess to friends and family with the Scene It? Seinfeld Deluxe Edition DVD board game for adults. This entertaining trivia game will have you racing around the game board as you try to tackle brainteasers and answer questions as you relive some of your favorite scenes from all nine seasons of one of America's most popular television shows.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Easy to set up and fun to play The Bad: Occasional occurrence of less-than-challenging brainbuster questions In a Nutshell: A witty, engaging DVD board game that highlights the hilarity and fun of the popular television show At a Glance Ages: Adult Requires: Television and DVD player with remote control

Scene It? Seinfeld Deluxe Edition DVD game is a fun way to challenge your brain while enjoying popular scenes from the hit television show about nothing. View larger.

Game includes a DVD, trivia cards, and dice -- everything you need to gets started.

So You Think You Know Seinfeld...?
The Scene It? Seinfeld Deluxe Edition DVD game is a fun, entertaining way to challenge your brain while enjoying popular scenes from the famous hit television show. Before getting started players will benefit from using either the included quick start guide or the on-screen tutorial for a run-through of how the game is played. To set up the game put the included DVD into your player and choose one player as the DVD Master who will operate the remote control throughout the game.

Next, decide whether you'd like to play a shorter or longer version of the game and fold the included Flextime game board accordingly. Each player then chooses a metal token and places it on the start space. Each turn a player rolls both the numbered die and the eight-sided category die. The numbered die indicates how many spaces forward the player may move upon successfully completing the challenge associated with the category indicated on the category die.

Challenges associated with the various categories range from answering questions following a scene played on the DVD to answering questions indicated on the included trivia Cards. Once a player has made their way to the end of the game path, they have the opportunity to win the game by either successfully beating all players in a final All Play To Win challenge or by successfully completing the Final Cut challenge.

Alternatively, if a board game is not your style or if you'd simply like to entertain party guests throughout the evening, you may choose the Party Play function on the Main Menu of the DVD. In this mode the DVD shuffles among a variety of scenes and challenges automatically so that you and your guests can enjoy one great clip or puzzler after the other all night long.

Yada-Yada-Yada!
The Scene It? Deluxe Seinfeld Edition DVD board game is a witty, entertaining game that is ingeniously designed to engage an entire room full of players. The versatile Flextime game board features brightly colored graphics and allows players to choose between a longer or shorter game. The cleverly designed metal game tokens are modeled after props made famous in some of Seinfeld's most beloved scenes.

The included DVD is full of hilarious clips and brain-busting trivia from all nine seasons of the witty television show. One of the best features of the Seinfeld DVD game is the Party Play option that allows fans and players to watch clips and answer brainteasers one after another on the DVD automatically without having to navigate with a remote control.
