I thought there was a big push towards having one small pocket sized camera
that could give you acceptable stills and movies! It's great to be able to
get a camera out of your pocket and be able to change from movies to stills
with just one turn of a button. I realize, however, that if you want high
quality movies, you are probably best to get a dedicated high definition
camcorder. Some of these camcorders also let you take 6mp stills, so that's
not a bad compromise! But these camcorders usually weigh in at about
450grams or more, but they are still fairly portable!
