Discovering the next American Idol

USA Today (Society for the Advancement of Education),  July, 2005  

No one can argue with the popularity of the hit Fox series "American Idol." While not everybody will have the chance to audition for the hot show, anybody can create and star in a music video with the help of the American Idol Digital Camcorder from Digital Blue, Marietta, Ga.

This product brings endless hours of excitement as users can shoot and edit video to appear as if they are contestants on the show. The PC software is equipped with crowd shots, the "American Idol" opening logo sequence, and contestants from the show. Once combined with their own footage, the end result is a video of themselves performing with actual program footage, including back ground music, special effects, and wild audience applause.

The camera, which has a 640x680 resolution and 60 MB memory, can record four minutes of video when not connected to your PC and provides unlimited recording when attached. Though the technology is cutting edge, it is easy to use. The American Idol Digital Camcorder ($99.99) is available at Toys R Us, CompUSA, and online at www.etoys.com.
