Giz Wiz Show for October 1st , 2013 Netcast 1436

My appearance on Turner Classic Movies and the movies Robert Osborne & I will talk about on Wednesday, October 9th, are here: http://gizwizbiz.squarespace.com/dicks-blog-log/ 

Now kids three and up can have their own digital camera AND projector.

SHOWCAM Digital Camera/Projector Under $50. This 2-in-1 camera lets kids 3 & up talk digital pictures (in a well-lit area) and then project them in a darkened area. Or snap pics and customize them with built-in software. Buttons, controls and grips are all kid-sized for easy use. There are over 50 ways to customize their pics and 3 ways to display them through the projector, so kids can create their own show over and over again. Then there’s the “Silly Button” to choose from lots of fun stamps, frames, animations and sound effects, then snap a funny picture. Another option is to set an automatic slideshow with fun sound effects through a mini onboard speaker. The ShowCam kids' camera can store approximately 1000 photos without a memory stick. Just like the built-in stamps and animations, you won't need any extra software to download and print your pics with your home computer - just your own USB cable (not included). Animations and sound do not transfer to your computer, but you can project them. The top 'disco' picture was an animation, but the bottom wasn't, but the camera did add a silly sound effect. I think kids will have a lot of fun with this camera. MSRP is $59.99, but it's under $50 on Amazon. Also available at Target and many of the big box stores.
