Just about all of them now shoot video. Just about all of them will do an acceptable job under good conditions.

I have noticed the local Wal-Mart just about always has some digital P&S cameras on clearance and some of them are great deals. When I say great deals, I have got a couple of middle end P&S cameras which were just a bit out of date for as little as $25. One was a Nikon L-20 and the other a Nikon L-16.

I also bought a Sony MP-4, also for $25. It is a video camera and will also take individual shots. I actually bought two. I sent one to my Daughter for a Christmas present. They already had a high end video camera so they took it, still new in the box to their local Wal-Mart and returned it for $179. They about fell over when I told them I had actually paid only $25 for it.

Don’t be concerned about number of pixels. They all have enough.

Buy a name brand, as new as possible. If you have the chance look up the model on DP review.

I have a Nikon Coolpix 4100 that totally blows - can’t take a decent night photos and the video is temperamental; don’t know how many music performances I missed recording because it would stall after a few seconds. Try it again 1/2 hour late and it would work but then stall again on the next usage.
