myFirst Camera 3 Review: A Kid-Friendly Camera That Doesn't Feel Like a Toy
Kids' cameras usually sacrifice real image quality for a cute shell, so I looked closely at the myFirst Camera 3 to see whether it actually takes usable photos or is just a toy with a lens sticker on it.
What Is the myFirst Camera 3?
The myFirst Camera 3 (£59.99) shoots 16MP photos and records 1920x1080 HD video, with a dual lens system — a macro lens for close-up shots and a front-facing selfie lens — displayed on a 2-inch IPS color screen. It's built for ages 5 to 13, runs on a 1000mAh battery, and supports microSD cards up to 32GB for extra storage.
Durability and Everyday Use
It comes with a shockproof protective pouch and a neck lanyard, which matters more for a camera going into a kid's backpack than almost any spec on paper. The bundle also includes stickers for personalizing the camera and a 1GB memory card to get started right out of the box.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Dual lens (macro + selfie) is genuinely useful for kids exploring photography
- 16MP photos and 1080p video are solid specs for the age group
- Shockproof pouch and lanyard included for everyday durability
- 5.0-star rating across 27 reviews
Cons
- Included 1GB memory card fills up fast — a larger microSD card is worth adding
- 2-inch screen is small compared to a phone display
Final Verdict
For parents looking for a first camera that won't fall apart after a week in a backpack, the myFirst Camera 3 balances real functionality with kid-proof durability. Check out the myFirst Camera 3 and browse myFirst's full range of kids' tech for current pricing.
