Looking for a slim digital camera that also shoots video
 

The thought of getting a secondary, compact digital camera for nights out and for taking car videos has popped into my head.

I'd like something small enough to put in a pocket or girls purse and able to shoot up to 1hr of decent quality video (640x480). Preferably one that uses SD cars so I can swap them between my Nikon D50.

Any suggestions?

? :mrgreen:

A good friend of mine has a EXILIM, his uncle repairs them too.. so it might be a good idea just to grab one of those.

and it looks good too :mrgreen:

Sony makes a really slim digital camera (they pretty much all shoot low res digitial video). If you beef it up with a 4 gig card it might shoot an hour.

I'm using an IXUS 850IS next to my EOS 5D, and so far I've been very happy with it. 28mm wide-angle, high ISO's ánd IS make for a perfect party-camera. 8)

I've got the Casio Exilim Z1000 (10,2 megapixel) and it's great! Real good value!

Can you record videos as long as you have the space for it or does it have a time limit?

Also wondering that about the Casio..

Canon says: "Up to 4GB or 1 hour (L and M, 30/15fps)"

It can also take SDHC, so maybe it'll allow for even longer videos in the future.

Canon SD Pocket Elph lines. . . e.g. the IXUS.

I am looking at either the SD1000 or the SD750 right now.

How about grabbing one of the latest Sony Ericsson cybershot phones? Dont know if they are available in the USA though...

If I could wait until the end of the year (when a butt-load of new all-in-one cellphones are released) I would just get a new phone with +2mp camera.. But I also want to record videos with decent quality... I'd like to do things like tape the camera to the bumper of my car or dash :D

OK, I want this ;)

Looks like a great competitor to the Ixus SD800

12MP + Leica optics = killer P&S

Thing is, I don't even want a 12mp camera.. Sure it would be nice to make large ass prints, but I still haven't even made a 16x20 print using my D50.

I'd be perfectly happy with 6MP, especially if it's a point and shooter.
