Doug, I'm not sure what kind of video recorder you want. But, I am at a blogging conference (think 1500 women, scary huh?) and many of them use one of the various versions of the Flip camera. Today at breakfast, one of the writers showed me a Sony camera that takes photos or videos then wirelesly uploads the images from the camera to the internet. That would certainly be useful for me but not sure about how Andi would be using the camera. Anyway, just a thought.

Oh, one more thing about the Sony, it had a great screen to show what you were shooting, which makes it a good option. My writer friends say that with the Flip, if you are shooting yourself, it's hard to know what the camera is capturing.
