    good video camera?

    Hi, I'm basically trying to find a good digital camera (not camcorder) that can do video equal to that of medium average camcorders. I know almost all digital cameras can do video nowadays, but i'm trying to find one that can do better than your average 640 * 480 at 20fps.


    any help?

    Most today will do 640x480 at 30fps.
    The latest cameras I saw on my tour around shops here in Las Vegas (Circuit City, Best Buy, Frys) have HD 1080 video. As did most of the M&S cameras at the PMA show.

    But the current cameras seem to lack the basic features of even the lowest price video camera; not having continuous autofocus in video mode, and not allowing zooming in video mode.

    I'll recommend Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG65.

    Compact size and easy to operate by only one hand. Pictures and videos quality are pretty good during daytime.
