CVS is now selling disposeable DV recorders. One time use, good for just 20-minutes of material at an eh resolution. This is dumb, but the very limitation of the format sort of turns me on, and I sort of want to come up with a little project for one.

$30 per camera, and then $13 per camera to transwer to DVD, must be done at CVS, or so they claim.

Ah, well my handy little Kodak is 6.1 resolution and will hold up to 80 minutes of film, which I can then dump to my computer, edit and burn to DVD. Seems cheaper to buy a camera that can do it than these. (Especially if you were going to film from multiple and merge the result.)

Yeah, i think the main benefit of these is if you want to have multiple cameras going simultaneous, and/or wantedto attach them to odd places (catcam!).

Ah, yes, I could see that. Of course, I don't think anything my cat does is quite $43 worth of exciting. :)

Agreed. Although mine have a scam involving cooperating to deactivate the cable modem and invading my room when I come downstairs to fix it. It's like evolution in action.
