Panasonic SV-AV25 Digital Camera

Pros: Compact, records good video, stills, audio, and plays music

Cons: Unique design needs different handling, hassle to play music on the unit

Bottom Line: The quality is weak compared to digital cameras, but it can play music and is much more compact. Great as a gift/toy, not really for someone serious.

Pros: Small, got it for $140 at sams club.

Cons: Lousy video, photo and sound quality. Needs proprietary s/w to operate. Was returned.

Bottom Line: Wait a few years for this technology to improve at this price point. In the meanwhile, SD/Microdrive camcorders under $800 stink.
