I'm packing up my hospital bag and see camera/camcorder as a suggested item to bring along. And it made me think. Is investing in a camcorder to record special events in our lives with our LO still suggested? Do you all find yourself using a camcorder? or just reaching for your smart phone instead?

It seems like it would just be one more thing to buy, to figure out how to use (a big one for me!), and to remember to pack whenever I leave the house.

But having no experience with milestone events as a mom yet, I certainly don't want to discount the pros of having a camcorder do the recording. I imagine it might be better quality or have more options than my iphone?

How do you record your LO's special moments? Do you think getting a camcorder is still a good idea?
