“Money and time.”
Oh now! If you spend quality time with family and friends a camera is a great asset. Take an hour of video, pull-off the best 5-10 minutes and you have something you’ll cherish for ever.
A 2gig stick runs under under $20 bucks these days.
512megs shooting .MPEG you’ll get ~00:30min of DV quality.
Honestly I’m kind of out of date with some of the lower end software these day. Although I do remember using Windows MovieMaker to help my mother-in-law capture some tape a few years ago.
I began making home movie a decade ago, now we own a educational video production company. (Tea party events also)

“(Tea party events also)” Bravo!
home movies projects are what we’re hoping to tackle if this camcorder works out.
I’ll be sure to read up on MovieMaker.
Less than $20 for 1-2gig stick?!!! Where do you buy your sticks? I just visited Kmart and about fell over when I looked at the prices for their 1- 2gig.
Our greatest challenge is financial. I don’t have the luxury to purchase the memory stick and software if I can’t view our videos.
I failed to mention an important detail. According to comments on CNET, your can’t download the videos to disc. Any comments concerning this issue?
