A Small Wonder for big memories
An 8-ounce digital video recorder with built-in flash memory makes it easier to capture impromptu moments. Designed to be carried in a pocket or small purse, the RCA Small Wonder recorder can capture up to 30 minutes of video at 30 frames per second with a resolution of 448 by 336 pixels. You can view the recording on the recorder’s 1.5-inch liquid crystal display, hook it up to a TV or download the video to a PC. If you’d rather let someone else handle the technical stuff, you can have the video burned onto a DVD at a participating Pure Digital retailer, such as CVS, Ritz Camera or Wolf Camera. The EZ101 model ships with a velvet case, a wrist strap, two AA batteries and an audio/video cable. It costs $129.
