The Canon PowerShot digital camera makes a great, simple video camera
//(Just as good as the flip camera and just as easy)//


 * Regular Digital Camera**

We have four Canon powershot cameras once again purchased through a media center budget. We ended up getting some $20.00, two gigabyte cards to go with each camera so that, now, not only can we take digital pictures, we can use the camera to take video. The camera will record video in AVI format so that with a standard USB cord, we can upload videos directly to Teacher Tube.
 * 1) To record in video, set the dial to the picture of the movie camera //(see picture 01)//
 * 2) Press power button
 * 3) Press record button to record
 * 4) Use Zoom if needed
 * 5) Press record to stop recording.
 * 6) If you want to view, the camera button on the back should be switched to "Play" //(see picture 02)//

PICTURE 02

 * 2) open "My Computer"
 * 3) open the camera icon that shows up
 * 4) open the DCIM folder
 * 5) drag and drop the AVI files to a safe location on your computer.
 * 6) The AVI file can be uploaded directly to TeacherTube, YouTube, etc.
