I bought one for my 14 yr old son who is big into skateboarding - thinking it would be great for him and his friends to be able to video their tricks and do their sponsor me videos! IT HAS worked wonderfully. He takes it every where with him and we have learned to love it more than a digital camera - because you can pick out the still photos from the video which allows you to get "just the right moment" or just the right look or smile or movement - especially when you are trying to get a great picture of a dog trick or a skateboard trick or kids... this is just wonderful. It is easy to use - easy to download the videos adn even easier to upload them to myspace or utube or email.. I have since bought another one for my sister in law to be able to capture the great moments of her twin 1 yr olds and her new baby as well. WE love this item - and I think everyone should have one.
