Cons This is the only CON, it's extremely loud!

Pros Decent video, very compact, inexpensive, easy to use.

Cons Playback not nearly as good on your HDTV, better for the PC.

Recommended it? Yes

These days, you can find videos of just about anything on You Tube. That's a great thing really, but if you want to upload video to You Tube (or any other site that hosts videos for that matter, including your own) you need a video camera.

Cons Grainy mic. ?HD? video is compressed. Manual focus. Plastic (cheap) construction...

Recommended it? Yes

From the makers of the PENCAM! Comes a super inexpensive true HD video camera! sounds too good to be true, eh? Well, it's not a total scam, but it's not George Lucas cinematography either…
