I was reading the linked story below on the emerging electronics genre of "Pocket camcorders."
Costing normally from $100 to $200, most are around the size of a deck of playing cards, are capable of recording anything from decent to HD quality video, and are setup in such a way that all you have to do is plug them straight into your USB drive and you're off to the races... no video editing skills required.
The craze seemed to start over the past couple of years with a device called the Flip Video, but has now grown to the point where RCA, Kodak and others are making comparables to get in on the action.
I'm curious if anyone in Westman has gotten a pocket camcorder (not to be confused with a digital camera which can record video).. and if so what your thoughts on it are. How would you compare it to the videos that your digital camera is capable of making?
Here's the CBC story:
