(MONEY Magazine) – Cheap flicks The good news for digital auteurs: Prices for digital videocams have finally begun to fall. Take the new Sony DCR-PC101, the smallest model in Sony's line, which sells for about $1,300. Last year a similarly equipped camera would easily have set you back $1,800. One of the coolest features of the PC101 is a touchscreen LCD. Since you're watching the LCD to frame the shot, touching the screen is easier than trying to locate buttons on the camera. And it's reversible--you can flip it so that your subjects can see themselves. The PC101 lets you edit or play footage on a PC or television and the spot-focus mode and picture stabilization mean you don't have to be a pro to shoot great-looking video. Shoppers looking for an even less-expensive alternative can choose the Canon ZR50, which retails for $679. It's small--weighing in at just over a pound--and has a reversible 2.5-inch LCD.

Celebrating Jackie When "Jacqueline Kennedy: The White House Years" visited New York City and Boston, the huge exhibition drew unprecedented crowds. Now on its home turf at Washington, D.C.'s Corcoran Gallery, it has sparked a citywide celebration. A number of historic hotels, including Swissotel Washington (the Watergate), Hotel George and the Willard InterContinental, are offering special packages through August. Each deal includes reduced room rates, two anytime tickets to the exhibit, Metro day passes and some Jackie-related extras. (Hotel George will even throw in a free copy of The Best Loved Poems of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.) The savings are substantial. Being able to bypass the mile-long ticket line? Priceless. For more information, call 800-769-5912, ext. 17, or visit www.washington.org.

Dive deal In August, Grenada is smack in the middle of its low season, which means the breezy island is simply a couple of degrees warmer (and slightly more prone to suffering a hurricane). While temperatures don't fluctuate much, prices certainly do. Blue Horizons Cottage Hotel and Aquanauts Grenada offer a special eight-day/seven-night dive package. At $522 per person, two people will pay $450 less than they would in high season. The deal includes a one-bedroom suite, eight dives per room, equipment rental, boat trips, a guide, breakfast and taxes. Reservations: 473-444-4316; www.grenadabluehorizons.com.

Two-way upgrade With so many people purchasing two-way radios, the standard airwaves are getting crowded. Enter General Mobile Radio Service technology. By offering less crowded channels and allowing for more power, GMRS radios are clearer and can reach much farther (up to four miles) than standard models. So which GMRS radio is best? The Kenwood FreeTalk XLS is lighter, more durable and easier to operate than competing radios. At $159 (for one), it's also more expensive. But the extra quality is worth it.
