These cameras for kids are so cheap for Black Friday they’re practically stocking stuffers

Some of my favorite cameras ever for young snappers can make great Christmas presents in these Black Friday deals. They don’t cost the earth, and they certainly aren’t cheap junk that’ll break ten minutes after unboxing. No, these are some of the best cameras for kids that range from animal-themed digital cameras with a selfie mode to instant cameras that make cute-sized prints.

The pick of the bunch in the UK is probably the VTech Kidizoom Duo 5.0, which was £64.99 and is now £37.49 at Amazon. It’s great for 3+ year olds. In the US, I can recommend the Camp Snap Camera for slightly older kids – it’s a screen-free digital detox that looks the part, with $10 off and now $55 at Camp Snap.

If your budget can stretch a little further, we’ve been busy finding the best Black Friday camera deals, too. Happy shopping!

Today’s best cameras for kids Black Friday bargains (US)

Camp Snap Camera: was $65 now $55 at Camp Snap Photo
We’re big fans of this neat idea – a screen-free retro snapper. It’s like a digital version of the single-use disposable camera – instead of film there’s built-in memory for up to 2,000 8MP photos, so you can use it as much as you like, without film cost. It’s got the retro swag and no screen at all, which is refreshing in this digital age. You can give your kids a Camp Snap to take away with them on screen-free vacations. There’s now free shipping in the UK, too. View Deal

Fujifilm Instax Mini 12: was $79.95 now $69.95 at Adorama
We rate the Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 as the best instant camera you can buy, and it’s currently available for £69 from Argos in several different colours: Blue, Mint Green, Pink, White and Purple. It’s an easy-to-use instant camera that’s particularly good for parties, and we think would make an excellent Christmas gift for a snap-happy youngster. It uses Instax Mini film which you need t o buy separately, and though not cheap, you’ll struggle to fund better value instant film. View Deal
