Motorola RAZR V3c

my wife bought me a razor, i dont have the box and the book doesnt tell me much. I wsa just wondering if she got an old left over early version of the phone because everyone i know has the ability to capture video and I dont, the only thing under media is the ability to watch videos and it doesnt really do any good because i can take videos. Is this a software issue, a phone issue or a carrier issue and did she get ripped off? i think she paid like 150 for it but im not sure. its through cingular thanks for any info you can give me
