  Our library lends Flip video cameras for students to capture footage for various course assingments (and whatever they want). We have two aging first gens and four second gens. I am considering investing in three of four iPod Touch (current gen) to suppliement (and replace) the Flips.

   

  I am curious if anyone has any experience with the devices specifically for video and audio capturing. We have an iPad 2 that we check out and it seems to work well. However, it is much more expensive.

   

  Also, anyone have experience with these new iOS microphones?

  Allan Gyorke shared about Penn State's mobile media pilot using iPod Touches with microphones instead of Flip cameras.

  Now you might want to add the new iPad to your list.

  I haven't used an iTouch for video capture but for a rugged video camera to be loaned to students at a similar price point you may want to take a serious look at the GoPro Camera line:
