Rats.

I am not having good luck with cameras this month. The video camera my husband Paul bought me for Christmas so I could make all those fabulous videos of my awesome class is on the fritz and it's no longer covered by the warranty. 

It "sort of" works but not in a way that makes it convenient or easy in a classroom full of kids or when you want to film their spontaneous fabulous-ness. There is a slim chance it can be repaired, but I'm not holding my breath. 

So, I need your help.  

I need a not-too-expensive recommendation for a video camera.  It's only going to be used for the classroom and since I'll be paying for it, I need it cheap and good!
