I love this camera because it's affordable, comes with all the accessories I could possibly think of and has handled falls really well so far.We have not tested the waterproof ability of it, because it's winter and the beaches are all closed here in Chicagoland.I guess my son can take it in the shower with him? I'll update my review when this thing gets wet.When I got this my son was down for a nap so I took the chance to charge it immediately for about an hour and a half. You have to turn the camera on to check the battery level so I did and it said full so I handed it over and he went nuts. To be fair he kept turning the lights on so I know that helped run the battery down. But it only lasted about an hour. So. . . yeah, that was disappointing. When I charged the camera for about 2 hours it seemed to last a little longer and he even took some videos with it. Am I being silly about how long I think the battery should last? I honestly don't know. Some comparable kid cameras have similar short lived, but a few (that cost about as much as this) say they can go for 4-5 hours. Those also say they need to be charged for much longer so maybe I'll play with the charge time vs use time. My kid is also a bit of a ninny and leaves the camera on even when he's playing with his trains.In the first two days we had it I noticed that when you turn it off and eventually back on it had trouble finding the SD card. I simply took it all the way out and put it back in & it was fine. It hasn't done it since so maybe it was just a growing pain. Who knows?The camera froze once and I had to turn the switch on the side off then back on, but that wasn't a big deal.I really so like so many things about this camera! It even has a countdown next to the battery level that shows how many more pictures you can store on the SD card. I think that's pretty handy so you don't have to worry about running out of space, just battery.I already dumped the pictures once onto my computer. That was a nice and easy process. The pictures looked pretty good considering my son hasn't really learned to hold still as the camera takes a picture. lol
