I purchased this doll for my 8 y/o and she just loves it! She takes it to school and has taken pictures of herself with her friends - easy to just hold it out at a child's arms length to get two girls in the picture and it previews on the dolls stomach area. It is so kid friendly to use and when the memory is full I just plug it into my pc and download them very simply! She has had a blast playing with this doll! I definitely recommend this doll if you have a little "shutterbug" and don't want her to use your expensive camera! Takes quality pics and she can also add different effects to the pictures!
