I agree, I love this camera! I wish Sony was still making it. I haven't used a Flip Video yet but I don't like the fact that it doesn't take high res stills. This is very important to me, and a big reason I love the Sony. I shot my first video at 640x480 30fps this weekend for a skit my daughter was in at church. It is amazing to have so much video power in such a small package. Thanks for the tip Scott. I agree, I love this camera! I wish Sony was still making it.

I should tell you, though, that you can still get them. It is kind of hidden on Sony's site, but they are available in refurb: http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665246485&storeId=10151 Only $119 right now. Worth every penny. That Sony was the camera I was letting you play with at NECC during the Ribfest. I absolutely love it. I should tell you, though, that you can still get them.

The audio is not great, but it is smaller and feels better in my hand than a flip camera does. It is perfect for me to carry around to take video of things going on around my school. I think it would work well for Story Chasers if the quality of the video is not very important. You can see a couple videos I shot in class on my blog. I used Google Uploader so the quality on the blog is not as good as the raw video. I picked up a Creative Vado from B and H Photo for $90 with shipping.

Was extremely convenient in Disney World with the grandbabies, but the USB recharging, built-in battery and fixed memory capacity could be a problem for extended field use and there's no still capability. I have also taken just cursory looks at the soon to be released Kodak Zi6 and Costco's DXG-567V. Been looking into flash based video cameras myself this summer and bought a Flash Mino.
