The life of a teenager is one worth recording. The teenager especially believes this, but will believe it even more years down the road when they can look back on themselves in their youth and all the attendant folly, freedom and chaos. Recording for them is a simple joy, and their camera should match this simplicity. Here is find the best camcorder for teens.
Instructions
1. Get an analog video recorder. They are a great deal cheaper (and going down in price) in the face of the blooming digital video recording market, and the analog video tapes are easy to use and view.
2. Keep options and menus to a minimum. This will likely be the first video camera many teens will have, so to overwhelm them with options is both costly and counterproductive.
3. Think small and sturdy. Unless serious filmmaking is on the agenda, most teens want a camera they can tote around and catch memories with. Expect it to be abused in backpacks and pockets.
4. Get a disposable digital camera. If you have a feeling this is a phase, or think that the teen just wants to record one particular event, some stores offer a digital camera for about $30 that can record 20 minutes of material.
5. Consider a waterproof housing or weatherproof camera. Not every teenager is a future oceanographer, but almost every teenager spills drinks, falls in puddles or has other unfortunate encounters with liquid.
