Actually, something bothers me about this...

The camera was obviously a film camera. You had to manually twist a knob 
to wind the film to the next exposure after every shot. I'm pretty 
damned sure it only had one shutter speed, and yet I don't remember ever 
taking over-exposed or under-exposed pictures with it. (Bearing in mind 
we're talking about a 7 year old child here.)

Similarly, I can't *imagine* that digital auto-focus technology existed 
at that time (or if it did, that they would actually put it in a child's 
toy), and yet I don't recall ever taking a photo that was out of focus.

Why is that?

How is it that 30+ years ago they could make a camera that's always in 
focus and correctly exposed, but today with the latest computer 
technology and 30 years of R&D into lens design, they can't replicate 
this feat?
