Camera Challenge: Can you Take Decent Photos With a Kids Camera?!
Blog by Jada Parrish | Jada's Camera Challenge | 01/05/23
David took the camera challenge to a whole new level this week. He challenged me to use a $25 KIDS digital camera!! This camera is recommended for kids 3 and up. The camera feels so cheap, I seriously thought he was joking. But, nope. He was serious, and I photographed an entire portrait shoot on it.
We headed to a location downtown to meet up with our model. You have to see her reaction when I showed her the camera! My goal was to take some steamy portrait photos on this tiny kids camera.

Shooting with the Wonder Islands Kids Digital Camera was insanely fun. It's really easy to use (DUH! Because it's made for 3 year olds) and I loved shooting with it. You can't focus the camera. It truly is a point-and-shoot. The image quality is the major drawback. The images are very pixelated. The camera definitely produces stronger images when taken closer up. The images I shot from a distance are significantly more pixelated. The camera also struggles when it comes to highlights and shadows. Your best bet for shooting with this camera is to shoot close-up images in nice even light.
Any suggestions on what camera David should make me use in our next camera challenge video?!
