Pocket HD Camcorders

[Goran]

So after next Tuesday I will officially leave school having finished all my exams and be freeeeee (until september, when i'm off to uni)

got a load planned for summer and thought it would be nice to get a little HD camera, such as the Flip Ultra HD / Flip mini HD/ Sony Bloggie / Kodak Zi8 etc but i am really stumped on what to go for, so i thought i would ask you lovely fellas.

I'm going to be filming general mucking about, maybe some videos of my band / me playing bass/ my mate playing drums, and probably quite a bit of Leeds Music Festival, so low light conditions and sound quality may be an issue...

Any recommendations? or websites i can trust with decents reviews?

thanks guys

is it really that good?

well for s pocket camcorder and HD (720p) and overall ease of use and price

yer i rate it high,i guess the only gripe is the small screen

i've been looking at the kodak Zi8 and its got a massive screen, expandable memory and a socket for external microphone. reckon i might go for that

also does 1080p
