Digital cameras. Nothing fancy. Something small enough to carry around and not be too cumbersome. Say smaller than your hand and will fit and a pocket. Less than $400 pls.

I just recently bought a Sony HandyCam DCR-HC30 it was $489 it is a digital video camera takes video and stills it has 120X digital zoom with the Carl Zeiss lens. It has a 2.5 touch screen. It has night shot and I am sure some other cool features I have only used it a few times works great.

yea the hc30 is a good camcorder, but it takes crappy stills. if you want a good smaller camera thats inexpensive, the cannon 400, 410, 0r 510s aren't bad. the sony T1 is definately small and has a big screen. or you could try the sony p100 or p150. hope this helps. if you need to buy one PM me and i'll get you a good deal.

I did notice that the stills are not that great but I have a decent digital still camera and I didn't get the DV camera for stills but for video it is great at least for me..

i just picked up a canon sd300 for my mom $343 shipped. it is a small little thing with awesome video capture. the still pictures aren't the sharpest but for its size it is worth it. it is a 4mp camera with 2" screen.
