This camera is perfect for kids and makes the perfect birthday or party gift. It is ready to use. You hardly need any instructions to use it. It is very proactive when children work without reading the manual. Image quality is pretty decent at 1080p. It's also very durable and my kids accidentally dropped it a few times but it didn't affect how it performs. But of course you can't intentionally throw them on concrete. :) The buttons are very touch-sensitive, so I think the usability is great. The screen is so big that my daughter loves to watch it! My daughter loves to wear them outside as they look very trendy and cool. All in all a great purchase for my kids!
