I purchased a VTech Kidizoom (actually I am buying a few of these) to use for information capture as part of a multi-media event evaluation I plan to conduct this summer. There are a couple of cool things about the Kidizoom when compared to a GoPro:
-It has a view screen. I know this is less important on an action cam but it is especially nice to have for what I want it for - which is to capture a person's experience in a more organic way than would usually be possible with a still camera -Way cheaper. These are around $40 on Amazon and I have hit on a couple on Ebay (new in package) for a bit less. Film quality, based on a very brief walk in the snow using internal memory only, seems adequate. I just put a micro SD in this unit so will be able to make some longer movies. Unfortunately the Drift Ghost I used a couple of years ago (there is a clip in this blog's archives) was ruined by waves in the Gulf of Mexico. This does not have anything like the capabilities of that very nice camera but I hope it will do what I need it to do.
