Appro. VideoCam for 13yo?

Anyone have a particular VideoCam for your child?
My soontobe 13yo wants one - I have no idea where to start or what "level" camera to get for her. Can't see going all out for one - She already has a digital cam - Similar to a Cybershot.
Anyone have any recs on their own kids' videocams?

I don't have any specific recommendations but... We bought a Sony Handycam last Christmas and I love it (it was a bit pricey) except for one thing. It uses discs (mini-DVDs) and they only hold 30 minutes of video. All mini-DVDs are this length, not just Sony. This is an issue when taping plays (kids school things not professional stuff of course), school concerts,sporting events, etc. but for the parties, school video projects, family trips, etc. it's wonderful.
Oh, you will also probably want to investigate video editing software too. The software that came with the camera is okay but I'd like to find something a little more robust.
Good Luck!!!
