Playskool ShowCam
© 2013 Hasbro, Inc.
ShowCam ($60 from Playskool, a division of Hasbro, at HasbroToyShop.com) combines a digital camera with a dim LED powered digital projector -- all in one device. If you're over 40, think of it as a 21st century Polaroid. You toggle between camera to projector mode to give kids the immediate satisfaction of presenting their pictures or movie. Features include a Silly button, for a library of digital stamps that can be layered over your image. The camera can hold up to 1000 images, has a color LCD screen on the back and a USB port, making it easy to save, print and email images as long as you have a USB cable and computer. It will come in grey, blue, green, white, pink or purple. Requires four AA batteries, not included. Coming this Fall. See the video at http://youtu.be/VxPhQ47X-LE.
