Poker, there are all kinds of inexpensive video cameras out there that are small and compact, yet take good video. Take a loook at the Sony Handicams and other brands like Samsung and Panisonic for even less expensive ones.

When we bought ours about 8 years ago it was a Sony Handycam or something like that. 8M tapes and also a digital camera that hold the Sony Memory Stick. I think we paid about $1400. It was considered top of the line then. Now I see some nice Panasonics that record with the mini DVD for around $260? to $300 or so. Thats what I'd be looking at if I were to buy today. Pop that disk out and righ into the DVD player.

just remember you get what you pay for so research and get the best bang for your buck

i just bought a sony handycam with 20x optical zoom, haven't gotten any video with it yet but i have played around the house and it is pretty sweet!
