Taping a couple of matches to go over his form and technique would be a start. I wouldn't be surprised if he'd find some way to use the camera to record some kind of major throwdown with the next mega-threat he has to deal with, which at this point I think is likely to be a plot to destabilize the hemisphere's currency with counterfeit notes galore.
Asami would take it apart to figure out how it works.
Elle would wander around randomly recording things. In my head this ended with her finding X training Mike and impassively recording that until it was over.
Leslie already makes a lot of movies with her own video camera, thought they tend to be iMovies for Ann or materials for disaster preparedness drills.
Andrea would spend the day recording her coworkers in the vein of a family video.
Hank would take it apart to see how it worked. Once he'd reassembled it, he likely record his experiments and devices or maybe see if Raven wanted to be filmed...but not in a creepy stalker way.
Thalia would try and duplicate a Green Day or Paramore video with some of the Hunters.
Ben would take videos of the Future Foundation kids.
Jess would think of doing naughty things with Clint but ultimately decide not to as those types of videos always end up out in the wild.
Val would attach an antigravity homing device onto it and film herself doing some sort of extreme sport.
Splinter puts it on a shelf somewhere to collect dust. Or...he gives it to Donatello. Maaaaybe, should he get it working, he points it at the television in order to record Tentacles of Our Waves.
Raph probably breaks it within five minutes of having it because he can't figure out how it works.
Mike...it might not be dirty, but it probably is.
The Loompas spy on you...more.
Bumi would try to take it apart.
Aang attaches it to his person and then finds the highest thing he can jump off of.
Ida scoffs at its megapixel resolution and tosses it aside.
He'd select a few people to stalk, and examine the results obsessively until he knows enough to take them apart with a few words. Then he'd slice them open and film what they do, for further study.
Which is basically what he does anyway, except now he could accurately track body language (the human memory is so spotty, after all). Added bonus: visual blackmail material.
Then he'd probably make an AMV or two out of the footage. Dance, puppets, dance.
*guesses* Surveillance videos of Fakir in the library, the Bookmen in their secret hideouts, any puppets who should happen to emerge from the machine, and Rue at any time? And half of Milliways.
Fakir would look at the video camera, shrug, and say, "Why would you want that?"
But then again, all of Goldkrone is basically Drosselmeyer's panopticon, so everyone's already being constantly spied on and recorded. (See icon.) That's just what Drosselmeyer does. For Autor, the video camera would actually make a lot of sense: it would be a machine that would help him to recreate Drosselmeyer's powers without natural talent. Conversely, Fakir, once he gets control of his natural talent, would be completely uninterested in using a machine to do what he can do perfectly well with a quill pen, an inkwell and a stack of parchment.
Hydrocortisone cream? I've also had luck with a cold washcloth when that happens. The fibers of the wash cloth scratch while the cold water soothes. Lotion can be good too if your skin is dry.
Do you have any oatmeal in the house? Or can you get to a store and buy some colloidal oatmeal or rolled oats? That's what they always recommend for chicken pox itchy skin, and I've seen plenty of other moisturizer products that use oatmeal to some degree, too. http://www.ehow.com/how_2163777_treat-itchy-skin-oatmeal.html has some information that might help.
Mark would likely play around with it, filming/annoying his mom and friends, and eventually take it with him on a flight. Whether it would survive the experience depends on where Invincible ends up. Mind you, videos of flights at speeds faster than Mach 1 are really boring without any frame of reference, so it'd be:
Invincible (on camera with Mann's Chinese Theater in the background): I'm in California! *blurring stream of blue sky, clouds, and maybe a plane or two* Invincible (on camera with Eiffel Tower in background): I'm in France!
Not terribly exciting. And any attempts to take the camera into orbit would probably result in the camera being destroyed on re-entry.
Alfred might use it to record his tennis matches, or something boring like that.
Erik would (now) make sure it's off, then go back to work.
Max would do the same as Erik.
Bean would try to secretly record life on the streets, and send it to the authorities. Never mind them finding out how he got a video camera in the first place. He'd possibly also be interested by how outdated a camera from our world is...

Also, that is so unfair, of you, Fakir. Not only can you see people, but affect them! *harrumph*

Regulus would wonder why you were giving him a Muggle camera when wizarding photos and portraits accomplish the same ends, more or less.

Claudia and Ruby would film everyone else around them; Ruby would show up on camera more often than Claudia would.
Imp, having heard stories about the mess that was Holy Wood, would back away slowly.
