    Through Tilehurst 11.17, slightly early.
    Probably see the return on Sunday.

    The video was taken using one of those fairly cheap tiny hand held HD camcorders that are getting popular, I don't think the results are too bad.

    You're right the quality is good, problem being with any hand held, keeping it steady.

    Cheers, the best way to describe the unit is that it is much like a small mobile phone or ipod. It does actually have a proper tripod socket in the bottom.
    It does not have any "frills or fancies". Only a 2x digital zoom which reduces quality. Perfectly good for "point & shoot" job though. The included software has a built in Youtube uploader amongst other things.

    Sounds just like the thing to have in your pocket which will perform better than your average phone/video.
