I was obsessed with my parents' Sony Handycam growing up, and for those too young to know what I mean, that's a small camcorder that recorded onto MiniDVD disks. As an only child, I'd mainly use it to record clips of our dog in the garden, or when friends came round to play, dance routines we'd make up and then turn into music videos.
Dance routines nowadays are catnip for platforms like TikTok, and I know lots of kids are obsessed with using their parents' smartphones for the same moviemaking I was into. The Photo Creator Camera Projector Camera I'm reviewing here feels like a brilliant Goldilocks option for children with a creative inclination, who are a bit too young to use an expensive iPhone or the best video cameras responsibly or safely.
