Digital Video Cameras for Tweens

Flip Video Ultra HD
Best Selling Video Camera at Amazon
Tween ages range from upper elementary school to middle school, and the interests range, as well. If you have an amateur videographer in your midst, a camcorder, or digital video camera, is a great way to encourage the exploration of that interest, and thankfully, in price ranges that were once unimaginable, when it came to video recording.

  I recall special units of study in my own tween years, when 8mm movies were made with now archaic devices, and it was considered "cool" if we could successfully shoot enough frames to make a film of an apple disappearing, bite by bite.  Now, the technology is such that all sorts of special effects can be incorporated into a piece, and a tween might run his or her own YouTube channel. Tween girls, inspired by the antics in "iCarly", might enjoy choreographing and directing their own variety show, while you might need to be slightly cautious with the tween boy, filming his extreme sports stunts.

Regardless of interests, a video camera is a fantastic way to give your tween a productive hobby. While iPods and cell phones have videography applications and uses, a dedicated video camera won't overwhelm the memory of these other electronics for your tween, and will provide a more focused concentration on the aspects of video recording. If your tweens are anything like mine, when something catches their interest, they will give it all of their attention, amazing parents who may wonder at their lack of such focus in other areas, most notably academics.

Some video cameras are available in assorted colors, another fun element in electronics gifts for tweens.  You can find the top selling Flip Video Ultra HD at Amazon, along with a listing of the company's top selling and top rated videography choices.
