During the next couple years I need to get a video camera that will take a nice ten minute or less video and upload it onto youtube.
There is something very exciting in the works at The Buckley Old Engine Show.

With most still cameras offering some kind of video facility, and even mobile (cell) phones getting in on the act, it is probably only worth having a video camera if you want to be able to use
 all the various features and functions.  We got our Sony video camera last year and use it a lot at shows and things like that, but like most devices it needs regular 'walkies' to keep it fit for purpose. It takes mini-DVD discs.  It takes stills as well, so we now have a still camera that does videos and a video camera that does stills!
