The Fisher-Price Perfect Shot (Blue) is a pocket film camera. It is aimed especially at small photographers. The camera was made of plastic in the 90s.
On both sides there is a handle, so that you can hold the camera well even with small hands. The shutter speed and aperture are fixed. It does not have a light meter.
Instead, a flash is built into the camera, which can be switched on as desired.
This is powered by two AA batteries (eBay / Amazon*).
The 110 pocket film format (eBay / Amazon*) is used for this. The film is rewound with a small slider on the back of the camera.
A special feature of this camera is that you don’t look through the viewfinder with only one eye, but there is an opening for each eye to look through.
You should not expect particularly good quality pictures from the camera. The camera is no longer manufactured. You can still find it used for a few Euros.
