For Christmas we got our oldest daughter a mini camcorder that allows her to film herself and and her friends. It is actually quite neat in that it will hold up to 30 minutes of video and also acts as a MP3 player and digital camera. Because of the limited memory of only 512 MB we invested in additional 4 GB memory that is easily transferred between her camcorder and the PC. You can now find memory sticks in sizes up to 16 GB, but with the 4 GB that we got it allows them now to store over 2 hours of video. Now the memory is outlasting the batteries which is fine because the creative content that they have created is well worth the added investment.
