We have a JVC Enviro Hard Drive camcorder. Well worth it and it holds tons of footage! I record him constantly just so I can remember everything and he can look back on things too. I have recorded everything from him sleeping, to all the tiny details of his body, to him just swinging in his swing.
DH has tons of home movies and I am so jealous. They even have him the day he was born in the hospital. It's so weird to watch. I wish I had even a few home movies.
Had one for 4 years now - used it for one vacation and now it is totally outdated. We use our digicam as a camcorder constantly though. It does a good enough job for me.
We have one and we've used it a few times, but now we can't figure out how to transfer the files to our computer. But we have some really good stuff! We'll start using it more once we figure out how to work it right.
I would probably use ours more if it was the kind with a hard drive (I have been trying to talk my husband into an upgrade but he says ours is fine lol). I hate dealing with the discs. I will take videos of my older 2 dancing and singing or whatnot and send it to my husband in Iraq. I got super sad one day when he said some days he struggles to even remember their voices since he is gone so long and we only talk on Yahoo IM. I use to use my digital camera for videos until I upgraded to a DSLR. Since then I have yet to touch my old camera. I really need to get better at regular videos. I have footage of the kids basketball, soccer, ballet, etc but not as much with just every day things.
Re: Do you have a camcorder?
DD gave DH a flip for Father's Day. He LOVES it.
I force myself to use it even if its only 2 min at a time. I don't really have any video of me when I was little and I wish my parents did.
