video cameras

After creating a group video for my teen's birthday during the height of the pandemic, I realized how many other occasions it would be perfect for: end-of-year teacher appreciation gifts , Mother's Day , Father's Day , graduation , speci…

A few years ago, we asked teachers to name their #1 favorite end-of-year gift and the answer was not "cash and a massage" (ha). In fact, we were heartened to hear again and again a teacher's favorite gift from students is a personal mess…

The ladies who live on my quiet, suburban neighborhood street have gone full-on neighborhood watch this week, because we've had a rash of packages stolen off front porches. Our delivery services are at maxed-out capacity, and they're hur…

Last week, our school district cancelled school on Friday due to possible COVID-19 exposure. And this week on Tuesday, my youngest daughter had off school. Whether or not we will see more cancellations in the future is unknown at this ti…

As you may have guessed, we're officially smitten with the new Polaroid CUBE+ . It all started last year, when we first laid eyes on the 1.0 version of this bite-sized, lifestyle action camera. Back then, we were totally impressed with t…

My daughter is turning 6 and I'd like to get her a camera. We gave her an old Canon point-and-shoot for Christmas and she is so responsible with it - she's ready for a new one of her own. I love the Fujifilm Instax Mini (especially Hello…

Ever since my husband showed the kids the GoPro videos he took while mountain biking, they've wanted to take the same kind of cool action videos, even if all they're doing is riding a scooter down the driveway. And since we're not so kee…

We've seen a lot of cameras around here, and we've tested them out under some pretty extreme conditions. (Ask Kristen and me about our kayaking adventure at the GoPro Mountain Games sometime.) But we were all blown away when we learned a…

With a baby in a more predictive sleep pattern (finally!), I'm thankful that I'm not spending my evenings and wee hours sitting on the edge of my bed staring down the baby monitor, as fun as that was. But for the climbing-out-of-the-crib…

It's hard to believe that when our first children were born, capturing them on video meant getting out a clunky camera, hoping the batteries were good and that the card still had some memory left, then finding the right cords to connect …

Usually when I check out a new tech product, it's me in a conference room (or sometimes alone) listening to someone wax poetic about its features. But nope, not LG. They recently announced their phenomenal new LG Ultra HD TV 4K and LG OL…

Can it get any cuter than this? That's the first thing that I said to myself when I saw The Polaroid Cube camera . I mean, look at it: This new little number is teeny -- less than 2 inches -- but can shoot quality 6 megapixels photos and…

I'm not sure about you, but Christmas really snuck up on me this year. It's only a week away! (Eep!) But that's one of the reasons I love tech--when you're scrambling to find great gifts, they're available to ship now, or even to pick up…

We haven't been shy about professing our love for nabi products, especially the nabi 2 and nabi Jr. kids' tablets. So naturally, when we heard about the nabi Square HD camera , a new waterproof, rugged, digital HD camera and video record…

I've long heralded my iPhone as my primary tool for taking photos and videos. With a library of almost 2,000 images and videos from my phone, you can imagine the impact it has on my storage space. Since my kids love to see videos of them…

A couple of weeks ago, I was invited on a trip of a lifetime: To travel to Alaska to see the Aurora Borealis with a research team from GoPro, a family-run business that's grown massively in just a few years. Before this trip, I wasn't to…

Pre-iPhone days (hard to believe there was ever a time), I relied heavily on two things to capture my daily life with my baby - my camera and my Flip video camera. If you can recall the ease of the Flip, the compact design, the big self-…

Out of sheer convenience, my iPhone has become my de facto camera and video camera to record all those precious kid moments. But in looking through my thousands of photos and videos in my library, I realize that I'm actually in about thr…

There are times as a mom when not only do I wish I had three sets of arms, but three sets of eyes as well. That's why I was interested in a new DIY video monitoring system called iWatchLife . Especially because it's completely free. DIY …

If you're like me and have relatives far, far away (can't get much farther than Korea), the holidays are a great time to re-connect. Times have changed a great deal from when we used to call an operator to connect to Seoul and then could…

Okay, it doesn't slice, dice, and make perfect julienned fries, but YOUBIQ's Gymbl does work as a stand, a grip, and a tripod--everything you need to elevate your iPhone's camera and video capabilities to where you don't even need to car…
