My child spends hours ,upon days, for about 10 years now, setting up action scenes elaborate sets with action figires.They have actually become quite intriguing. Is there simple equiptment that a child of 4-5 or at least under12 can use to make simple vidios. I know nothing...clean slate here..we do not even have a digital camera. THANK YOU

If you are looking for video, as opposed to still photos, you should take a look at the Mattel Vidster Digital Video Camera, which is about $75 USD (new) or less and aimed at 8 year olds.

you'll need a computer to transfer the movies to, and you can edit them there.

If a computer is an issue, look for a cheap old/used camcorder. If you get the VHS-C you can easily watch play them via your VCR with a tape adapter. you can always buy a new VHS-C camcorder for $150 - $225 USD and forget about/do without edit capabilities available on the PC. Depending on the PC and your ability to use the PC, editing and using video may be tough or fun to do.

You'll need a video camera that has single frame capability and a tripod. The camera should have a remote control for best results.
