Have just wasted over an hour downloading stuff from Samsung to try to recover a video from his phone. Even following the help and the phone booklet neither of us have a Fing clue. Sod that!

okay - have scrubbed his phone idea.
Have now got the Adult Ed flipcam. Its a Busbi Video - the thing is easy to use and I can get the video straight to the computer via a wire (no downloading crap).

I have to return this tomorrow, so Im now thinking that Ill look on ebay and buy something, as mini videoas will be a useful thing for the website and for teaching.
So, this AE Busbicam is a bit old - what should I be looking for - I want to point, press & record and I want CHEAP.
What am I looking for? My digital camera has 5 megapixels and Im happy with this.

Does your camera do video clips, I know ours does. Otherwise what about an ipad?

Ouch, that really is cheap. I suspect that, for that budget, quality video will only really be possible by paying a friend for their time to shoot it with a more expensive camera.

Second hand is looking great - ebay is the place. There are flipcams with 4mb there for �5. I just think 4mb is too small.

this sort of thing

would do the job .

tis worth looking to see if a camera will take an external mike

either go for a stills camera with a movie option or a movie camera .

optical zoom is more useful than lots of modes etc .

running on aa batteries is much handier than those that need a dedicated built in battery

if not plugged into a pooter the limiting factor is the size of the sd card memory

zoom a bit small but if you are not planning sports footage this sort of thing works much better than a phone etc

no mention of mike internal or external 4x digital zoom is a bit shabby the lens looks a bit small ie good light only at a guess it wont be better than a phone very similar to mine which takes nice snaps and quite nice movies

I'd be worried about the miner marks. They're often brutal fellows, with picks and such. Maybe even dynamite.
