[CASL-L] video cameras

[Nicole Giangreco]

We have used Flipcameras for a very long time, they do not have a great
life span.  And when I ordered more from amazon.com, they came and did not
work(had to return them) so I did a little research and purchased Kodak
Pixpro cameras, not bad, nice picture...can either connect to a computer
with the wire it comes with or the sd card(which is quite mini and needs
and adapter.) I attached a photo. can go underwater as well!
Glad this email was initially sent out because I was curious as to what
others used.
