Disney has introduced a line of camcorders that are both inexpensive and simple enough to be fun for teens and pre-teens. It’s got a nice looking LCD panel, connect to a PC via USB and VGA as well as Video-Out to show off your movies on the family room TV immediately.
It also comes with a kids-friendly piece of software called Disney Director which is for PC-based movie editing. It’s quite complete with storyboards and special effects. The software is themed around Disney’s popular “High School Music” TV show.
The specifications are quite good: VGA (640×480) resolution for movies, 1.3 megapixles for stills, 64-MB of built-in memory (accepts additional memory in SD format).
It is available at Amazon and most large distribution stores for approx. $89.00.
