waterproof camera kids digital image
scorpus23
um let's say i know this person, they arent really young but there were cameras around them when they were young. Like it wasnt really uncommon to not have a camera then. They got these kids, and out of all the kids only like 1 has pictures of them as a baby and its only like one shot, that's it. Or they may only have one of each. the one kid they hardly dont have ANY pictures of, WHY??? it was like the kid didnt have a childhood/babyhood, there's no pics barely.
What's your take???
Answer
Have you asked them?
My mom only has a picture or two of me as a baby. Film was simply expensive. Once I got into elementary school (early 80's) then the disposable film canister came out and that brought the cost of film down. But before then, every camera they had gave really thick pictures with etching feel on them almost, and that was late 70's and even into the early 80's. Once the pre-loaded film canister came out and polaroid, then there were SOME more pictures, but the 80's marked the time of a great recession and everyone was out of money. Not that I cared, but really the only pictures they got of me at that time were taken from school, my dance class, etc. Group things where the parent in charge would go out and buy a disposable reel and then take a picture of each child, or the school pictures.
In about 1983-85 about I got my first camera. It had a real easy drop in disposable reel that was super cheap, and my parents were ecstatic that we could get more pictures taken then. My camera was cheap, but worked well, and I learned to take pictures knowing that I had to pay for my own film to develop, my parents weren't about to pay for it. That means that even though we had more cameras, we took one picture of an event. You timed it. You focused. And you might have a year or two of pictures on a film, or you might put that film aside for later to be developed. If you put it aside, it rarely got developed, and the film was lost. The pictures were rarely focused right (there was no auto-focus) and you usually threw away half your film unless you were real good. This basically meant that pictures of a baby or kid had to be posed, and you didn't do it often. Pain in the NECK to get them to hold still. We have a lot of pictures of my nieces and nephews at this time sitting on mom's lap eating something yummy... and blurs. :P
It wasn't until 1989+ about that I remember cameras became real cheap. There were the auto-loads, and they had a simple auto-focus, used batteries, and people were having more money since we were making more about then. Also there were photoclubs and stuff where you could get pictures developed for pretty cheap, and you often didn't have to pay for ruined pictures anymore. :) Plus there were different finishes so that some were more waterproof than others. The result was that I remember the 90's as everyone having a camera and snapping pictures. You still timed it because you didn't want wasted film, but there was a lot more photographs of kids and babies.
Other things happened to our photographs. We had a big move and lost a lot. My mom didn't put some in a photo album and they were ruined by bugs climbing in the box. One of my sisters went nutso and ruined a whole bunch of pictures. Things others could have happen included floods (photos were rarely salvageable), fires, tornadoes, earthquakes, and just some kid finding pictures while they had scissors.
Basically... growing up in the 80's you didn't usually have more than 3 pictures done a year, if that. In the 90's, I'd say that went up to about 10. These days, my kids get 10 pictures done in a week, if not more, digital cameras revolutionized that. I remember my sister used this to support a conspiracy of hers, but the fact was that people just didn't waste film, it was hard to load and expensive to develop until the mid 80's.
So that's my take. Unless they're from the 90's onward, then you wouldn't believe how many advances cameras, film, and where you developed it went through.

How can I get my fisher price digital camera to work?
drakkar
I have changed out the batteries
Answer
Fisher Price have gone a little more hitech recently with their Fisher Price DVD player, and now a Fisher Price kid-tough digital camera. With the camera being kid-tough it is built rugged and ready to go almost anywhere.
The fisher price kid tough digital camera has sturdy grips to allow your child to firmly hold the camera. A built in flash can be found and the whole thing is waterproof too. It is aimed at children aimed 3 years upwards and lets them document their favourite things. The camera has 2 view finders that allow the children to look through with both eyes.
Fisher Price Kid Tough Digital Camera Requirements
* 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 doesnât need to come with instructions.
64MB of memory can be found inside that allows the camera to store up to 500 images. There are 2 resolution settings that see the camera work at 0.3 megapixels and 1.3 interpolated mega pixels. Although the pictures are not going to be the best of quality, it still will be enough to capture their favourite things. Images can then be printed by transferring them to your PC, or viewed on a 1.5â³ LCD screen.
