Wow. I want one of these:

(from Techrhet)

I second CeeJ's choice of the Sony Mavica. At school, we've used the one's

that record to floppy disk with great success (and they are pretty easy to

learn, if you're going to teach others how to use a d. camera). Also, we just

bought the Mavica that burns to mini-disc (instead of the 3.5 floppy). It

takes MPEG movies (with sound), has a focusable lens, zoom, and also does the

requisite still shots in small or large filesizes (up to 2078xsomething, or

close to that). It usually runs around $1000, but i found it online for as

little as $650. And you can get CD-RWs, so you can use the same media over

and over. And those little discs hold a *bunch* of pictures. I've taken as

many as 50 stills and at least 20 minutes of video and have run out of

battery power before I've run out of disk space.
