One of the great things about digital cameras is that most models also take "mini" digital videos. Over the years the quality of video that many of these cameras can take has increased dramatically. 30 frames per second, MPEG 4 compression, and good sound quality has made taking mini videos a great experience. I've found that taking snippets of video adds to the sharing and re-living of any experience. The small sizes of digital cameras make it significantly easier to capture mini video than larger dedicated video cameras. They are easy to view either on your camera, computer or TV.

Take a sweeping view of a street corner in Xiamen China and experience the sights and sounds.

A still photo of the life size Tyrannosaurus rex in the Toys R Us store in Times Square, New York City is amazing, but my kids go nuts when they see and hear it come alive on video.

Re-experience the "drop" down the water flume at Busch Gardens.

My mini videos have become one of my most favorite ways of re-living memorable experiences.
