[Maced] Digital cameras and digital video cameras

[jenny Ashby]

Hi Brenda,

We have purchased the canon digital cameras and they are just great.   
They are robust and take very good shots.  Movie and still.  For  
short shots we use these rather than our good old sony camera that we  
use for productions etc.  Make sure you get cameras with the view  
finder as the LCD screens are hard to see in daylight and the view  
finder allows the camera to be balanced on the face so you get less  
blurrrryyyyy shots.

The guys in the stores seems to want to sell without viewfinders and  
they can be cheaper without them so be aware.


We now have every class with cameras, charging batteries can be an  
issue and I must get some of those batteries that hold their charge  
once charged,

Hope this is helpful,

Cheers from Jenny


PS.  I'm off to a touch iPod in the classroom project launch today.
