While you could look into any number of pocket camcorders for their ease of use and relative portability, they very rarely offer the same kind of video quality that you’d be able to achieve with a proper camcorder. If you’re looking for some better movies, you may want to consider the Canon FS200 Flash Memory Camcorder
A trusted name in the digital imaging industry, Canon is offering “unsurpassed image quality” thanks to the Genuine Canon 15x HD video lens. This camcorder will record 1920 x 1080 Full HD video, offering great detail when you output the video to your HDTV or HD-capable computer.
Other highlights include the SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer, instant autofocus, face detection, a lightweight design, and SDHC memory card slot. You can also get in close on the action from far away, thanks to the 41x Advanced Zoom system. Alternatively, you can use the 37x optical zoom or 2000x digital zoom.
The Canon FS200 Flash Memory HD Camcorder is currently on saleon Amazon for $285.99

I’m not really sure is using flash drive a good idea. Cameras need to be quake resistant and flash drives are not so much of a tough ones. It is possible to easily lost data from flash drive. I would like more to have small hard drive there.

That’s a decent price for a great looking camcorder. I am really surprised how much it can zoom. It far surpasses the zoom capabilities of my digital camera that cost more money.

I like the new generation of camcorders with flash memory. They are small and compact, yet laden with some serious features. 37x Optical zoom is pretty impressive, you’ll be able to pick out the individual berries in the fruit salad on the dining room table from the back yard!

I bought this Canon camera a couple of weeks ago and it is small. Smaller than I expected, but that is not a bad thing, it is easy to carry around in a vest pocket or coat pocket. I didn’t download or use any of the software provided with the camera, I have Sony Vegas on my computer. One thing that I do recommend is downloading the free SDCOPY software you can find on the net. Check the widescreen box and it will convert your .MOD files to mpg files lightning quick. Now you should be able to work with them in just about any editing software. Use a card reader for the SD card instead of connecting the camera to the computer, makes life easier. I use a cheap one that came with my SD cards.
