Obviously it's not the best, but it'll do.

I have a little Olympus FE-110 that I like. It's actually a digital camera that has a video mode. It records video to QuickTime format.

thanks slugger and chris that would actually be a better option how much did it cost?

Maybe $150 to $200.

Probably less now.

jamesh23,

Slugger's link looks perfect to me, but if you go the camera route, look for a small pocket camera that takes video at 30 frames per second, preferably 640x480 but 320x240 would do and would be cheaper. Should be able to find something for under $200. Maybe well under. Being able to just throw the files on your computer easily is big, imo. If you buy new, buy from a reputable outlet with a return policy. Stay away from the "low price" online camera stores you've never heard of. You might find something used really cheap on ebay but, of course, be careful.

You might check out www.theflip.com good price. I heard they were nice. 30 min record time $119. 640x480 at 30 frames per second.
