  Katie Clare on Video


Shortly after Katie was born, we were given advice from many well-meaning parents instructing us to capture the baby on video. Never having owned a camcorder before, I was hesitant but still eager to buy a new toy (for the baby). After researching VHS, 8mm and MiniDV devices, we finally settled on this Sony DCS-TRV8 Digital Camcorder. It's a wonderfully compact and fascinating little video camera, with more gadgets and features than I'll ever learn how to use.


So here are a few short, home-made movies of my daughter hamming it up for the camera. Each movie is available in both "wmv" and "mpg" format. You can stream either format "thru the web", or download them directly - whichever way works best for you. Enjoy!
