jim_a Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 While researching toy digital camcorders I came across the site PXL THIS, dedicated to videos produced using the PXL 2000, a toy camera. The PXL 2000 was available from 1987 to 1989 from the toy company, Fisher-Price. There is even a PXL THIS film festival, established in 1991 and celebrating the Fisher-Price PXL 2000 toy video camera. <p> One of the videos on the site is of Alfred Benjamin, who is Jewish, telling the story of photographing Hitler with his Leica camera in 1934 when he was 18-years-old, and his reaction to staring into the face of evil.<p> <a href="http://www.indiespace.com/pxlthis/alfredshootsadolf/home.phtml"><b>LINK TO VIDEO (Quicktime Required)</b></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtk Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 That's a superb video. Thanks! Think how much good stuff is being churned out today by cheap digicams, and we won't even know about it for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
