Family FAQ

You asked:

I've heard there are now simple, inexpensive digital video cameras that are no bigger than a point-and-click traditional camera. Where can I find one?

The Online Family answers:

Digital video recorders have become more compact and simple to use. You can either buy a digital camera that also allows you to take short videos (up to five minutes or so, depending on your memory card).

Or check out options like the new Flip Video Camera, which is a so-called camcorder that looks like a still photo digital camera. The small video camera fits in your pocket and uses AAA batteries. It has a USB connector that makes it easy to transport video right from the camera to your computer. New pocket camcorders like the Flip record up to an hour of content at one time.
