SInce I'm still on a Sony Hi8 cam and Sony floppy disc still digital - I was looking for a 'all purpose' digital camera for going on holiday with as many of the newer cams now seem to do video as well....
I had been looking at either the Konica/minolta Z3 or Z5 but sadly funds ran out before we even got on holiday.
However I did have a mootch while in florida - sadly I cant remember the model I was looking at - but it had a 1GB memory installed for about 60mins worth of video and used an SD memory card to take pics at about 1.5M pix if I recall right.
I might be looking up some of those Canon ones though - lol.
Mood: R U thinking what I'm thinking?......Oh dear!
Not having DV in is not the end of the world as you can get a widget to convert out to in and back again.
I have a fairly bulky Sony TRV digital 8 camera and a bullet cam from RF concepts. 2.9mm lens.
Greats results for in car stuff but the older camera is maybe a bit bulky for the bike. The bullet cam is easy to use and set up andf includes a Mike. I does seem to go through batteries.
Get a Spare battery for the camera as well.
Whatever camera you go for try and get as big a optical zoom as poss as this helps pic quality. (or so I am led to believe.
