Thank you, gentlemen, for your advice.

I just ordered the RCA small wonder 201 at amazon.com for $108.

Amazon has the RCA 101 for $75. (My daughter may get this for
Christmas.)

There are several cheap camcorders. I was tempted to get this one for $99.

I plan to start posting my home videos on youtube.
