{The winner of the RCA Small Wonder Digital Camcorder is Dawna! She said, “What a great giveaway!  I would love the opportunity to use this little gadget.  Most of my children are grown and I have never had a chance to capture them on video.  This would give me the chance to make sure that I do at least  get grandchildren on film… And the many college graduations, marriages and family get-togethers we have ahead of us in the future.”

Email your address to me at kelsey[at]vanillajoy[dot]com BEFORE WEDNESDAY to claim your prize. Thanks!}

With all these kid giveaways, I wanted to throw something in here for all you Moms (and Dads…)!

THE PRIZE

rca small wonder digital camcorder

Today’s random giveaway is for the RCA Small Wonder EZ200 Digital Camcorder ($90).

MY REVIEW

The Small Wonder EZ200 is a great choice for a digital camcorder because it is inexpensive, small, and easy to use. I love having a little pocket sized camcorder because I can take it with me without having to carry a whole camera bag.

The Small Wonder has some features that make it super user friendly and great to have around:

  • flip-out screen for self video recording
  • records up to 60 minutes
  • takes an SD card which allows you to video up to 8 hours
  • 1GB internal memory
  • 2 quality settings – high and web
  • takes pictures
  • comes with a carrying case
  • software installs automatically when plugged in
  • upload videos to YouTube directly from the Memory Manager program

I love that this camera has 2 quality settings – you can choose the high quality setting which uses up more memory and will take longer to upload but will give you better video, or web quality for when you just want to put the video online (which is still pretty good quality).

You can see some footage taken with this digital video camera on one of my posts from last week. I did a video tutorial on how to sew elastic into a fitted crib sheet, and this camera made it so easy to record, upload, and post the video because it uploads straight to YouTube. I know there are lots of you who like to post videos of your kids on your blog – this camera is great for that!

The RCA Small Wonder series has several versions of this camera, all of them awesome. This digital camcorder is a great price for the quality of camcorder, and will help you capture those fun moments with your family. Thanks, RCA!

  1. I need to win this for my husband! I would love to use it for my blog, but I know he has wanted a small video camera for a long time and this one is fantastic! He could take it with him when he is working with the teens, on summer camp, and even at school! He would get so much use out of it!

  2. I need to win because I have three little girls and I want to capture the everyday moments on film so I can remember them forever!

  8. Wow, what a cool giveaway, nothing like catching your little one’s “forever” since they grow up way to fast!!!

  18. Wow how cool to have a second chance at this awesome giveaway. I’m a follower. Thanks

  19. With a 3 year old and a new baby we just don’t have room to take our bigger camera places all the time. This would be wonderful for all those special moments.

  25. I need to win because the RCA Small Wonder EZ200 Digital Camcorder is very cool, I can record 8 hours of video using the SD Card to record my son. It would be small enough to go everywhere. I love it.

  26. I would LOVE to win this because after watching my 5 year old’s tball game last night, we realized all of the hilarious moments we are missing by not having a video camera. It was his third game, and he doesnt understand the rules yet, so rather then run from home plate to 1st base, he started circling around the pitcher like a mad man…was hilarious and hated that my family had to miss that moment

  33. I need to win this because it’s the perfect size to travel with us! I’m constantly missing out on great moments I would love to capture simply because our camera is too big to easily carry around with us when we’re out!

  40. I need to win this fabulous prize because there are so many fabulous moments that a still camera just doesn’t capture what you are seeing. hmm does that make sense?

  106. I always think I don’t need a video camera, but then when I occasionally see videos of my kids that other people took, or when I accidentally hit the video button for a moment on my digital camera, I see what a sweet thing it can be to see my kids in action. Their voices are captured, the subtle movements, the way they laugh, things I just can’t get with still photos. Thanks for a chance to preserve all that!

  118. i need to win this as I love to take videos of our family but frequently don’t as there are so many features that make it hard to use. This is compact and easy to use and load the videos to send to friends and family.

  125. I so need to win this one! This is the one piece of equipment that I don’t have and would love to start vlogging and doing tutorial demos. It’s absolutely perfect. I really like the EZ201BK Small Wonder. Thanks so much for the chance!

    Commented on How To Nursing Cover.

    and so many more.

  134. This is totally cool!! I need to win this because I upgraded to a HUGE SLR camera and it would be nice to not have a big video camera, too. You have the best blog ever!!

  137. This is so cool. I love how it flips out so you can video yourself with the kids and actually see what you are filming. This would be perfect for summer videos on vacation.

  145. I need this because ,we don’t have a video camera at all and I’m missing my son’s first years!

  147. We’ve never owned a camcorder and I would love to have to capture all those great moments. Sometimes a camera just doesn’t cut it. Often you miss the moment you wanted to capture.

  160. I want to win because I have 4 kiddos and so many things happen and I say “I wish I could record this!” If I had this, then I could!

  161. Please pick me!!! A camcorder has been on my wish list forever, I would love to have one finally! My baby is already 19 months old and I’ve missed all of her baby firsts :(

  162. I really need this this because I have 3 little ones and I don’t want to miss anything. I can already see my memory isn’t what it used to be so I can’t remember everything I would like to about what my kids do.

  164. We have never had a video cam…missed all our children’s antics. Now I would love to be able to capture our grandchildrens’ events and fun times!

  167. I need this because I’ve already missed putting awesome moments of my kidlets’ lives on film for the last three years.

    And I love that it’s compact (so I can keep it in my ginormous purse) and that it takes SD cards to get tons of memories on film. … I’d finally be able to upload cool videos of the kids to share with grandparents and friends. … And keep for future humiliation, like when they bring home their first girlfriend and boyfriend. Heh heh. ^_^

  170. This would be perfect for capturing every moments of my children. I love the compact size that can fit inside a purse or even a pocket. This would also be helpful when going to theme parks and not be weighed down with bulky equipment.

  172. We will be going on a two week vacation next month and I need something small and compact to record all of the awesome fun we are going to have. It’s my inlaws 60th wedding Anniversary!

  173. I have six children and a wonderful extended family. This would be great to have to capture moments of all our events. I’ve also started a blog and this would be great to have to post videos of reviews and happenings. Thanks.

  176. We really need this to film all our kids playing their sports. I don’t want to lug around our 10 year old big heavy video recorder (yea, the one that still uses a cassette tape). I’m almost embarrassed when I pull that sucker out. Would love this cute little small thing to slip in my pocket. This would be great for our football season coming up too where my husband is the volunteer head coach. Thanks for such a great giveaway.

  179. why you need to win before midnight Thursday, May 14???

    I need to win before midnight Thursday, May 14th because we need to take photos and videos of Jasmine Renee before during and after her birthday on May 29th…. She is our last child, child #5 ! Born in the 5th month and we do not have enough time or resources to add to her baby book and box… this RCA tool would do wonders for collecting our precious family memorabilia!! thanks for reading!

We do not have a video camera, and I really would love to capture Sadies firsts on video. I doubt I will have another child, so this will be my only chance for video memories. My husband says we cannot afford a video camera yet, so maybe this is the answer. Cool website and great ideas.

    I follow you on Twitter now. I also subscribed to the feed and the email newsletter.

  319. I would love to win this! I work nights and that’s when my grandson’s tee ball games are. It’s the first year I’ve missed any, and it’s only because I have no time I can take off with pay now. Working part time doesn’t allow me the flexibility I used to have.

  320. Today is my son’s first birthday :) and he’s not walking yet… so this would allow us to capture that special moment when it happens! Thanks!

  328. I need to win this cause my baby girl just turned 2 years old and I feel like I can barely remember what she was like as a baby. I mean I have pictures and memories but absolutely no footage from when she was born or as an infant. We were just way too poor at the time (not playing the pity card). We had what we needed to be happy but it would be nice to be able to capture all her memories from now on. Great Giveaway thanks!

  333. I need to win this digital camcorder to take on vacation to Seattle this summer. We’re taking our daughter to visit her grandparents(who she only sees every few years), and we’d love to be able to document it for her. With my father in law in poor health, we’re not sure how many more years he’ll be there!

    Thanks

  340. I commented on your post about your cute little son painting with water! We are going to do that this weekend! I’m going to have to keep them busy and to stay cool because it’s going to be 100 degrees out!
