For a simple, no frills, easy to use camera it's great and I can pass it around the class for learners to use without worrying or them needing extra time to familiarize with it. The picture and sound pick up are both ok for simple class projects. It is incredibly easy to view and download on both windows PC and Mac and will save in a range of different formats as well as being able to publish online. But...I have just discovered that I cant use it for creating animations in the way I want to as once it's connected to the computer it will no longer function as a camera (no firewire connection). Can't have everything for that little money but it is frustrating! Hi Larry,

Best in Class is a great resource for digital cameras. They are clearly experts and know their stuff. I work at Wize.com and we're creating a platform where you can easily find the best products for your specific needs/intentions. We believe the best source of information for products are the people from around the web that have purchased and written about their experiences. Please take a look and definitely shoot me an email if you'd like to chat more. Larry, great post. Best in Class is a great resource for digital cameras.

I would strongly suggest you take a look at the Canon ZR900 video camera. It is inexpensive and produces a high quality image. It also has a mic jack. Good sound does matter. For still cameras, we use low end 6-10 megapixel Nikons. Any major brand should work well. Windows Movie Maker or iMovie both work well for editing. Working with a firewire, in my opinion is better than working with USB. The Canon ZR900 uses a firewire. Hi Larry,

Other cameras often use their own proprietary format. Also they use mini USB cables which are easy to replace if lost.
