I bought this forth my niece for Christmas and it was a total hit. By chance she opened this first and there was no interest in other gifts after. She took a little while to figure out how to print the pictures and tare the printouts from the camera, but the soon took to it. The controls on the back allow for lots of creative freedom for the little user but learning to use this might take a little bit.
The SD card in the camera is great because it is possible to save pictures to the computer taken from her perspective. These will be fun to share with her in the future. Just to note it is possible for the user to mistakenly reformat the SD card so it might be wise to backup the SD card more often than not.
My niece is almost five for reference on age of the child this was gifted to. From the picture you can see she has decorated her camera extensively. I like that there is space to be creative not just with the pictures but the camera itself.
There are hundreds of fun pictures printed out all over my sister's house. Including a number of very flattering early morning shots. We all look our best when photographed from a five years olds perspective minutes after waking up.
The low cost of printing gives my niece the chance to all the hard copies she wants at a negligible cost because of the thermal printing paper. I have the printer paper refills on subscribe and save, I drop them off as a gift each month to my niece and she is very happy.
Before wrapping: If you are confident this is a gift your little one will like consider opening and charging the camera (USB C) before returning to the box and wrapping. There was a little kid meltdown when the camera ran out of juice just before lunch. The combination of hungry and camera out of battery was not ideal, though it was quick to charge and post lunch the pictures were printing again.
