With features ranging from a wide-angle lens to variable frame rates, one of these devices in the $150- to $200-range is bound to be a great fit for your needs."</em></p><p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="600" height="360" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6LVw75Uhuuc&amp;fmt=18" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6LVw75Uhuuc&amp;fmt=18"></embed></object></p><p>Moynihan goes through the basics of each pocket camcorder, though without video samples it's hard to know for sure which one you'd like the video the most on - but arranging a six-way shoot-out with video samples would be tough. I'm not overly impressed with the video quality on my Flip Mini HD personally, but I haven't used it outside in bright light much - it's not great in low-light, at least not compared to my Panasonic point and shoot camera.</p>
