Want A Small Camcorder? How about Vado’s HD Pocket Video Cam.

Want A Small Camcorder? How about Vado’s HD Pocket Video Cam.

It looks more like an mp3 on the outside but the video quality is solid.

The Vado features high quality HDMI connectivity and an included HDMI cable that provides 1080i output to an HDTV.

One cool feature is the one-touch video uploading to YouTube and Photobucket. Oh, and not to mention the 8GB internal memory.

Sony Handycam HDR-CX12 Camcorder

Sony Handycam HDR-CX12 Camcorder

One thing that stands out about the HD CX12 is its still photo quality. It comes complete with Face Detection and Smile Shutter technology. All of the other reviews I have read agree that the still photos are quite impressive for a camcorder.

The camcorder also has a “Cam Control dial” (the shiny round circle in the corner), which prevents you from having to rely completely on the touch screen. This is good because you can do some adjustments while you are actually recording, and not have to pause to use the touch screen.

Kodak’s Zx1 HD Video Camera - Rugged And Weather Resistant

Kodak’s Zx1 HD Video Camera - Rugged And Weather Resistant

If you are looking for a mini HD camcorder, don’t get caught up in comparing them to the more expensive, larger, and nicer HD camcorders. Remember, you are buying a smaller, less expensive camcorder (and less quality), one that actually fits right in your pocket.

Probably the best thing about the Kodak Zx1 is that it is built to resist rain and dirt, plus more. The rubberized rugged outside is made for people on the go, people in action.

The actual video is decent. It runs off of AA batteries, which is handy so you don’t have to carry a charger, just a couple extra batteries. And, you can easily upload YouTube with built-in software.

Want A Small Camcorder? Try The Panasonic HDC-SD9!

Want A Small Camcorder? Try The Panasonic HDC-SD9!

The Panasonic HDC-SD9 is one of lightest full-size camcorders. This is great, no tired arms!

The image stabilization works pretty well. The camera has some other cool features like flash media storage and a pre-record feature. I like the pre-record feature a lot. It will automatically store three seconds or recordings in a cache prior to hitting the record button. Three seconds is a lot when you are shooting sports, or your kids and animals do something funny! The only bad side to this feature is that it has to be activated to work, which uses more battery power than it would otherwise, but worth it I think!

JVC Everio GZ-HD40

JVC Everio GZ-HD40

Is the Everio GZ-HD40 worth the money?

The menu design is not really in order, which doesn’t make it easy for beginners. Some of the controls are pretty small. Some people have commented on the hand strap, saying it isn’t comfortable. But, the camcorder is small enough to just carry around easily.

It does have the awesome 120GB hard drive. It has great color in good light.

Capture Special Moments With The Canon Vixia HF20

Capture Special Moments With The Canon Vixia HF20

This camera is definitely more of a family type camcorder than some sort of amateur filmmaker. It wont fit just in your pocket but it is compact enough to take it with you on vacations trips to the ballpark, and pretty much anywhere!

One of the coolest things about the HF20, is that it includes the Pre-Record feature that captures the action 3 seconds before you press the record button. This way, you’ll never miss a moment of the action!

Checked Out The Small Flip Mino HD Yet?

Checked Out The Small Flip Mino HD Yet?

If you haven’t, you should!

The Flip Mino HD is the smallest on the market right now, which is one reason why I like it. No one wants to lug around a big camera. The Mino HD is definitely something you can take right along with your wallet or purse. How cool is that?
