I am looking for one for xmas
pref waterproof
and must have one of those screens that you can turn around and video yourself with (for dd lol!)
also take reasonable stills

I quite like the ones shaped like this

they look like they would be easy to hold and not too much shake

Any recommendations?

I don't own one, but have been looking at them for work. I think the amazon reviews are incredibly helpful. The sanyo does well. 10M for stills is great too. Search for camcorder and sort by customer reviews. Just remember that digital zoom means absolutely nothing & is useless. Optical zoom is what you want.

Sorry to take over an old topic but I'm new and wanted to ask the same question!

Really I'm looking for a small pocket size camera thats a bit better than I have on my phone. I was looking at those Flip cameras or maybe the Sony mobile camera? Is the HD video worth paying extra for?

Would love to hear what others recommend Smile

Woops, got that link wrong! Sorry about that: Sony mobile cameras
