Video camera recs?

[quesyrah]

DS (5) loves making videos on our iPhones. They take up a lot of space on our devices though so I would like to get him his own video camera to make videos.

Any suggestions for something easy to use for just basic videos? Preferably something I can download to the computer

If you can find a used FLIP camera (RIP) that would work awesomely.

So I googled that and I used to have one! I wonder where it is.

What about an iPod?

Did they stop making the flip? I had one but it finally died a couple months ago.

We have a sony handyman. It's super small and has a USB that tucks into the strap that goes around your hand. I leave it in the kitchen drawer and have caught so many great memories. It's small enough to throw in my purse. I love it. If it's for your DS I would send you could find a preowned. But I can't say enough good things about it.

Otherwise... We have some old iPhones that DD uses as iPods and she takes pics and stuff on them. That's another idea

I didn't know iPods could take video. That's a good idea. We've considered getting him one so we can download books since he loves books on CD

The iPod Touch can.  It's basically an iPhone without the phone part.  We did some workshops back when I was teaching that used the iPod Touch as a video camera-and-editor all in one - iMovie is really easy to use.

Yep, get a touch and you can use it for books and videos!
