Please match my tablet hardware and software to this use case: Takes pictures and videos with a built-in camera. Allows viewing of pictures and videos. Pictures and videos can be transferred (I guess. Not really that important) I basically want a camera for my kid, but a large viewing screen is more important than camera quality. I don't think there's any of-the-shelf tablet that is this barebones. If it doesn't have network capabilities, all the better, but I doubt any such product exists unless I want to make my own Raspberry Pi device with a custom OS configuration. Could I buy a bargain-basement Android tablet and turn off everything except a camera and photo app? Is there one with a relatively decent camera (8MP stills and 1080 video) and screen (~300ppi) that's ruggedized or compatible with a decent case? Any recommendations?

Yeah I guess Guided Access has all the lockdown capabilities that I want, and the camera is more than enough. I was thinking about going lower-end due to potential for rough handling but if it has an otterbox or something that would probably protect it enough. Thanks. Hippie Hedgehog posted:A friend of mine wanted basically the same for her kids (6 and 8). They ended up getting second-hand digital cameras for next to nothing. The screens are tiny and crappy though. They really would probably have a nicer time using small-ish tablets, but on the other hand they didn't spend anything and don't care if they get smashed because the pictures are on the SD card. This would honestly be a good option for less money. As long as it has a tiny sensor with fast shutter response and no need to wait on focus.
