#sanyo_xacti_vpc_hd2 Good points, wmacphail. I think this camera is a good choice for people who use their digital camera for video more than photos (I know a few). With this you get HD video, and amazing photos at about the same size, albeit a little more expensive.

#sanyo_xacti_vpc_hd2 I've had this product for three weeks and love it. I use it to do a video podcast and to shoot stills. It will become my only camera, replacing my Coolpix and Casio cams.
