The flip does fit the bill. Exactly the features I was decribing. Little/ no zoom, simple features, LCD playback, uses AA batteries. It doesn't have much memory, but then 30 minutes for the intro model is probably fine for a kid.
I'm suprised it's so expensive though. But then I haven't used one. Maybe it' worth it. -Mike On 12/10/07, Jay dedman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > anyhoo, it turns out that my bf's son (6 yrs old) is a filmmaker in the > > making. i don't think he knew it either before this weekend but boy did we > > have the imovie adventure! i really want to get him a video camera for > > xmas. > > any suggestions for a simple kid-friendly camera that is compatible w PC > > and > > mac for import? > > like Josh said, the Flip might be the best thing to begin: > http://www.theflip.com/> > > i wouldnt be confused about giving the child something he'll break, > but something with too many buttons and menues. > this camera is pretty dead easy. > > jay > > -- > http://jaydedman.com > 917 371 6790 > Video: http://ryanishungry.com > Twitter: http://twitter.com/jaydedman > Photos: http://flickr.com/photos/jaydedman/ > RSS: http://tinyurl.com/yqgdt9 > > > > Yahoo!
