I don't own a video camera, but last year found out my Kodak Easy Share takes videos. So far I've only done 4 vids and I'm not very good at it.
Here is one of them, a tour of my apt.

Do you own a video camera....if so, how many home movies have you shot?
No, and I'm definitely buying one on Black Friday. I have had one though, so I do have quite a few home movies. Interesting enough, last Christmas when I was visiting relatives......I was at my aunt's house and my cousin came by the house and popped in a home video she had from Christmas 1990. It was kinda weird looking at my 7 year old self on camera. I kept telling her "don't put me in the film" but I was acting up right in front of the camera.....dancing, making funny faces, etc. And to see all of the adults looking so much younger and thinner, lol.

Yes but haven't really used it almost 10 years. I bought a handheld Sony camera back in 2001 for about $700. This was just prior to the videophone/camera boom. I have only one video cassette for it. I used to connect it to my VCR and record myself on VHS. After years of it sitting on the shelf exposed to the elements, I tried to use it a few years ago and the picture kept cutting in and out so I don't know if it's even workable now. I tried to connect it to my PC once, but it wasn't compatible.

Is it a Sony 560x Digital Zoom?
If so have the same camera, I bought it back in 2002 and it cost about the same. I looked it up on Amazon, and the damn thing is now selling for $140.
Like you, I haven't used it in years. I shot a bunch of videos and then had them transferred to either VHS or DVD-R.

We have an old one, much like the pic Chris posted. We bought it in 2000. I have shot a lot of videos, but wish I had more of my son when he was younger. I take a lot with the Easy Share now, but would like a new video cam some day soon.
