Just got 1 chrissy prezzy early!!!!
I was told to sit in the loungeroom with my kids around me. Then I was given a present and told I had to open it tonight!

OK, what's the catch????

I was told that I had to open it tonight, or tomorrow morning I will be saying "I wish I had this earlier"!?!?

I sat there dumbfounded and carefully opened it up, waiting for the joke.

It is a miniature Video camera!!!!!!!!!

Man, it's small!

Cheryl knows how much I love to video the kids at Christmas but my old Video Camera died a few years ago and I have missed videoing a few christmases.

So now I can get them opening their prezzies tomorrow

Here is a few pics of how small it is!!! Geez, technology has changed since I used the Brick I had!!! Hmmm, I wonder how it will go on Astro stuff

Even if it doesn't capture Astro Stuff Steve, it will be nice to get my kids on Video again! I was making a video of their lives but the last few years are missing.

Impressive little camera Ken.
Just find some adapters and your set for some video astromony.

Go capture those planets in AVI.

Thanks Daniel, Merry Christmas to you and your family.


I just dug out my old broken 'Brick' video camera to see them side by side!

I have to laugh. The new one is the same size as the battery pack on the back of the old one

Wow, technology huh!

Wow you have to laugh, at this rate the way technology is going we will soon need to carry a microscope and sewing needle to be able to see and operate future cameras!!
