This sounds really interesting, although I have serious misgivings since Kodak is still best known for its film-based cameras.  Can it really compete in the HD Video Cam arena?

The picture shows a really simple interface that even kids can work, and it’s pink.

That’s the only reason I’m even remotely interested.  Sorry, but the Mino’s still got my vote.  I haven’t checked the specs, though, so don’t mind me.  I’m completely bias.

If you’re still interested, you can pre-order this baby for $179.95.

I’ve always wanted a video camera, but the price always thwarts me.  I’ve taken to using my sister’s Canon G7 to take videos; we had to bulk up on the memory cards, though.  Anyway, even if the G7’s a good alternative, battery-wise, taking videos on a digital camera can be taxing.  It’s still best to have a separate camcorder so you can take pictures and record videos separately.

So what’s not to love about Toshiba’s latest offering?  The Camileo H10, a high-definition camcorder, is here for a slice of the video recording pie.  It offers 5x optical zoom, 10 MP sensor, 64MB of built-in memory and and SD card slot for memory expansion.  It also has motion detection, image stabilization, as well as HDMI output so you can check out your videos easily.

Price is £180, as this baby’s only available in good old UK.

I’m sure Toshiba will come around and spread the love though, eventually.  I’d gladly wait.

Now that nearly everyone on this planet is into video blogging, what better way to do it than with a slim, convenient camcorder you can use to shoot anywhere, any time?

Presenting, Pure Digital Technologies’ sleek and smooth digital camcorder: the Flip Mino.

Like its older brother — Flip Ultra — this sexy baby brings video recording to the streets. At only 3.94 inches high, 1.97 inches wide and 0.63 inches thick, taking the Mino anywhere can be a breeze. Plus it’s got the same 2GB capacity as the Ultra, guaranteed to hold at least 60 minutes of your video clips.

Though approximately $30 more expensive than the Ultra, the Mino actually offers a few upgrades. Instead of the AA battery and chunky buttons, the Mino sports a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and touch-sensitive buttons. It also boasts of an omni-directional microphone — a step up from the Ultra’s wide-range version.
