know you said you are not keen on the pocket handhelds, but have you considered the flip ultra? They have them on Amazon at discount prices at the mo. Ask yourself how often you are actually going to use it, and what you are actually going to use it for... Is it worth buying an all singing all dancing piece of kit if you are not going to use all the features on it?

We want a little camcorder for our hols, and I am strongly considering a flip. We won't use it any other time other than holidays, the flip is easily portable and you can get an 8gb HD model for £120. Has got me thinking anyway...
Whose round is it?

I bought one of these last year and think it's a pretty good bit of kit.

Just saw today that the price has dropped.

I paid about £300 for it. This place,

are doing it for £175, and you get an extra 20% (down to £139) off with the discount code W20W32 according to the Hotukdeals website..
