World's Smallest HD CamcorderThis cute little sucker fits right into a pants pocket, all ready to rock and roll with high-quality recording of live events. If anyone remembers how we used to record our childrens' soccer or softball games, their dance recitals and the likes, this thing will blow your mind. Small and easily adapted to downloading onto the computer, it records up to 60 minutes at a time of high resolution filmage.
 It weighs exactly 3.3 ounces, amazingly enough. But it also has fabulous sound quality as well. These sorts of things really do blow me away. Obviously, I include myself in that group of folks who trundled around large camcorders with poor resolution but who were delighted to have one. I have libraries of my daughters games and events. The amazing clarity of this one takes things to an entirely different level, however. Plus, it's idiot-proof!! Now that's the sort of protection a guy like me needs!
