[quote=Anonymous]I understand why you'd want a camcorder. I had what was then a high end digital camera when my daughter was born back in 2010. I made sure to have extra batteries and SD cards so that I wouldn't miss a moment. I underestimated just how little I'd use that thing. I was exhausted from the stress of a newborn. I was always lugging baby bags and stuff around. When she became mobile, I was terrified of her getting her hands on it or knocking it over. That entire first year, I took maybe 10% of my pictures/videos with it. The rest were taken with my iPhone. They move so fast that I found myself taking ten pictures trying to capture one moment before running to say "stop, come back here, don't touch that, get that out of your mouth!" LOL. Like the other person said, the best camera is the one you have on you. I take pictures and video all the time. My stuff automatically uploads to Google Photos for free as soon as I connect to a wi-fi network. I also plug my phone into my computer once a week and copy all the pictures to my computer. Once a month, I grab my external drive out of my safe deposit box and copy the files over just in case. I also still have the free storage I got when I opened my Dropbox and Amazon Prime accounts, so I have the really important things (the day she was born, holidays, etc) stored there as well. [/quote]
