Though the Vtech Kidizoom Plus (which I recommend for slightly older kids) is a better value for the same $50, if you're buying for a 2 or 3 year old, the LeapFrog camera will be easier to handle -- both because it's much simpler to use, and because of its more compact size. Tots will also love that the camera says "great shot!" when you snap a photo and "bye-bye" when you turn it off.
