OT video camera help
Morning all
Firstly, I know very little about I.T or cameras etc so any rep;onses in laymans speak much appreciated.
I'm looking to buy a video camera for my wife so she can video the little un learning to walk etc.
I was looking at a reasnably priced HD camcorder, small palm type with a screen such as a sanyo VPC-CS20EX-B as it gets reasonable reviews etc.
My qustion is will we be able to watch these on a standard laptop (not high spec) and put clips on a picture frame that supports video? I don't
really want to be only able to watch it on a tv.
So any advice on which video camera(sub £200 if possible) and then any help on whether I can use it on multiple sources. I don't really want a
high tech solution involving software and converting etc.
many thanks you lot have never let me down before

We bought a Panasonic Lumix TZ8 Digital Camera, which also shoots "film" in movie mode.
Take the memory card out and put it in the laptop, and the "movies" are there as files that can be played through windows media player. I
guess you could edit them together or upload them.
It also comes with a lead that you can plug into the telly and play straight from the camera onto the screen.

Can you post a link to the Sanyo camera for me to add to my own (very) short list please ? 
I was going to buy this one but I'm open to suggestions
