Check Your Purse

Well, I guess there’s a camera out there for everyone. I look for a good quality HD camera without touch screen controls.  But not everyone is looking to  make movies, just record memories.

That’s where DXG’s high definition Luxe collection comes in.  The whole concept has the small camcorders covered in the slightly cheesy plastic designs of familiar purses.  At $129 they’re priced right for simple recording every so often.  It’s not the kind of camera I’d want, but I guess it can come in handy for some mom who just wants a clip of a kid’s school play.

Under the Sea

Personal camcorders continue to gain in quality and function, and that goes for their accessories as well.

Canon has recently released information on its WP-V1 underwater housing for it’s new HD Vixia H20 and HF200 camcorders.  It looks a lot prettier than underwater cases we’ve seen before, but it’s just as expensive.  At nearly $600 you should be prepared to film a lot of fish or swim lessons for that kind of cash.

The cash doesn’t make the idea any less appealing though.  Think of the possibilities in kids home movies or super on the cheap independent filming.  There’s only so much land on the planet, most of earth is water anyway.
