Hello All,
The woot-off is still going strong today on most of the woot sites. If you do not know about it, you can check it out here. In addition to that Sellout.woot is selling a Toshiba HD camcorder for $64.99 shipped to your door. This little HD camcorder is perfect for parents and children as it is cheap enough that you will not care if it breaks, it is waterproof to 6.5 feet, and it has a HDMI out so it is easy to hook up to a TV. You can find some reviews here, and here and you can view sample video here. One last thing, this camcorder is $65, do not expect mind blowing HD video, but in good light and in places where it might get wet or wreck a better camcorder, it will work really well.
You can find this deal here. I would recommend buying this for it right away as well, so you can record video when it gets to your house.
We bought a Kodak PlaySport Zx3 before we had our daughter, and it is basically the same thing. It is waterproof to 10 feet, but outside of that they are very similar. We bought that model over the newer Zx5 as the Zx3 has an interchangeable battery. The Toshiba has that as well and is about $50 cheaper, so I would buy this if I were in the market.
Lastly, happy birthday to the not so little Andrew Kettner, man has this year flown by.
Later,
John

Deal of the Day - 4/13/10
Hi All,
It has been a long time, but things seem to be getting back to normal. There should be more posts going forward.
Costco has a nice deal on an Olympus DSLR. Now most of you probably don't care, but you should. First off it is small, not like most DSLRs. Second off it is inexpensive, $499 with a lens, and a memory card. Third off it shoots 720p HD movies. Fourth off it uses the new micro 4/3 standard. Both Olympus and Panasonic are on board, likely Sigma, Tanaka, and other lens makers will be on board soon as they will not have to make the same lens in different flavors for all of the manufactures. All of this combines to make a nice camera.
You can find the deal here.
It is not all roses and rainbows, but for the money it is really solid and is a great value.
You can see a more detailed review here.
I am a big fan of the Canon G11, and for a little bit more this is a much better camera.

Deal of the Day - 5/18/09
Hello All,
Woot is selling a brand new MiniDV camcorder for $134.99 shipped to your door. MiniDV is still the best recording medium as it is cheap, durable, lasts a long time, and you can buy tapes just about anywhere. Hard Disk based and flash based recorders require lots of storage or a laptop to clean them off, and that is a pain to drag along on vacation.
This model got good ratings at Amazon, and is just over $100 cheaper than Amazon.
