Product HD-Camera-Recorder 5 MP CMOS sensor, 3x digital zoom lens, 1.5 inch color LCD, 128 MB of memory, 4GB SD card This camera may not have been first out of the gate with a flash-based camcorder--or second, or third--but one of its debut models gets it right the first time. A sleek, matte-gray compact model with a well-rounded feature set, great video, and excellent performance, the HD-Camera-Recorder definitely deserves a spot on your short list of potential home-movie camcorders. <p>Fortunately, the HD-Camera-Recorder doesn't seem to suffer from the usability issues that usually accompany shrinkage. The controls remain large and easy to operate, though the vendor has relocated many of them. The Function button and joystick, which call up and navigate frequently needed shooting settings, now live on the LCD bezel. I'm not a big fan of designs that do this, mostly because I find it more difficult to simultaneously operate the controls and hold the camera steady when they're on the LCD than when they lie under my right thumb. In addition, manually focusing with the joystick on the camcorder's smallish 2.5-inch LCD can be a pain, regardless of the zoom-view focus assist.
