Last week, we were on the topic of downsizing appliances...so how funny is this - while driving to return my movie this afternoon, in a limited window of listening opportunity, I should hear a story on NPR about the debut of the disposable camcorder!
The idea is similar to that of the disposable camera - buy the $30 camcorder, shoot your video, then take it to a participating CVS (the only chain dealing in these right now) and for about $13 bucks they'll burn you DVD of what you shot. The idea behind it being that it's cheaper for someone without need of a full camcorder to shell out $43 for convenience than it is to pay full price for something you'll use maybe once a year. It also has its advantages in places like camping trips or everseas trip where you may not want to lug your full gear.
It's an interesting concept - especially reading between the lines: a camcorder for someone who doesn't need to make home movies of the kids or the family. Yeah, I know, I'm slightly biased based on the previous discussion...but it fit in so nicely I had to pass it on.
