First Look: Canon HF10 HD camcorder
AVCHD camcorder records to Flash memory or SDHC card

The Canon HF10 is an ultra compact camcorder that captures HD video in the AVCHD H.264 video file format. What makes the camcorder unique is the dual storage capabilities built into the camera. It doesn't use video tape or DVD disc or a hard disk; rather, it captures video and still images either via the camcorder's built-in 16GB Flash memory, or via SDHC (Serial Digital High Capacity) memory cards.

Pure Digital Flip Video Ultra

I have been a fan of Pure Digital's Flip Video camera ever since I took a look at one last year. I liked the small form factor, the video quality for the price, and the battery life. It is an ideal video camera for those moments when you don't want or need to pull out the more traditional video camera.
