The Vtech Video Camera is an excellent choice of toy for 5 year old boys. It allows them to video family and friends, create their own mini movies and add characters, funny borders and other themes to their films too. You can also play games on the camera. Its shoots 2 megapixel video so isn't high quality but is good enough for 5 year olds to have fun and enjoy. The camera is tough and durable and will withstand most young boys rough play. Currently reduced from £59.99 to £31.38, this is currently an excellent buy - I haven't seen it cheaper anywhere else.
