One-Time-Use Video Camcorder

If you're caught without your camcorder or just don't want to haul one around, here's an option. Drugstore chains CVS and RiteAid sell a recyclable, single-use digital one made by Pure Digital Technologies for $30, plus a $13 processing fee for transferring your movies to a DVD. Don't expect movie theater quality, and be sure there's plenty of light for indoor videos. It fits in a shirt pocket, it has a 1.4-in.-screen for playback (you can delete your duds), and its 20-minute limit is plenty for most home movies (800 746-7287, cvs.com; 800 748-3243, www.riteaid.com).
