Mini camera pocket-sized fun for creative kids
Mini camera fun at your fingertips: A parent’s review of the Photo Creator Mini Cam
We’re always on the lookout for tech that keeps kids engaged without breaking the bank. The new Photo Creator Mini Cam from Canal Toys hits the mark perfectly. At just £14.99 and weighing only 20g, this clever keyring-sized gadget is full of fun and style for kids of all ages.
Lightweight, low fuss and loads of personality
This mini camera comes in six bold designs, so there’s something for every mood. Ours chose one that matched their backpack and haven’t taken it off since. With real photo and video functions, it’s not just a novelty. Kids love snapping their surroundings and adding one of the 20 frames or 8 visual filters for extra flair.
Mini camera easy to use, even on the go
The 0.96” screen is small but clear enough for little fingers to frame shots and play around with filters. There’s no Wi-Fi or app to download, so no faff – just quick, creative fun. With a 4MP lens and 1080p video, the quality surprises for something this tiny.
More than just a toy, it's a mini camera
It comes with a 1GB memory card, holding over 200 photos. Parents can easily upgrade to 64GB if kids get really snap-happy. Charging via USB-C is fast and simple. We get about an hour’s use, which suits after-school fun or weekend outings perfectly.
Where to find it
Launching in early June, the Photo Creator Mini Cam will first arrive at Smyths, then at Amazon, Very, Argos and more. At under £15, this feels like great value and will be a hit for birthdays, holidays or just a treat.
