Having a video camera on hand lets you capture all those important moments that occur in life. You can record your child’s first soccer or basketball game, take recordings at your next family reunion and even get videos of your kids opening their Christmas presents. While older cameras used film that broke down and degraded over time, new devices use digital recordings that you can save for years. Your family and friends can have watching those videos year after year and remembering all the great memories that you shared together.
