My 8 year old really wants a video camera for Hanukkah. I was looking at Toys R US and they have a lot of kid video cameras. I thought the VTech one looked good. Does anyone have a good video camera they can recommend for an eight year old. Thanks!!

The "Flip."

Don't get a "kiddie" video camera... your child is 8.... they can handle a video camera like the Flip.
My daughter is 8,.... and even when younger she could handle our video camera and even made a short film...which she "directed" herself. She even takes great photos.... with our digital camera.

Check the Flip video camera at Amazon and the reviews.
easy, not expensive, handy, good.
Even Costco had it on sale....
Lots of sales on it now...

good luck,
Susan

We got our 9-year old a flip and she loves it! We didn't get her the fanciest one, we got a very simple one for about $50 and it's perfect for her!

We got our (then 7yo) son a Flip last xmas, and he's shot hundreds of hours of video on it this year. We got it during the cyber monday sale at Amazon.com last year for $50

CyberMonday should be in the nick of time for the holiday with overnight shipping... or if you do a later date even free 2day shipping

I would say a Flip also. I have seen many similar to the Flip on the deal a day websites like 1saleaday.com and others. I know with the Flip you can use their website to edit the videos and it is really easy.
