This looks like such a great camera. I don’t have a video camera, due in part to the typically large and or heavy size. I could carry this in my purse for all those unexpected moments!

From SheilaBee on September 23, 2009 :: 1:30 pm

My old camcorder died a long time ago and I never found the funds to replace it so I would love to win this one. My parents are getting older and I would love to have videos of family events.

From Sue E on September 23, 2009 :: 4:56 pm

My son participates in all kinds of sports and I would love to record him in action. With a toddler in the house I have to take along a diaper bag full of stuff, so a video camera gets overlooked. This one wouldn’t take up any valuable space. Thanks for the chance!

From Bryan on September 23, 2009 :: 4:59 pm

Wow nice giveaway! I wasn’t aware that Kodak made pocket video cameras. Looks like a nice one.
