When I upgraded to a dSLR, I sadly lost the quick draw video capturing capabilities of my point and shoot camera. I've tried lugging around our camcorder but with the weight of the camera and flash and hefty toddler combined forced me to choose between video or still shots.
Luckily, the Flip Ultra Video Camera offers the solution for those who want easy video shooting from the hip, but none of the baggage. In addition to its deck of cards sized compactness, it includes software for easy editing. The software offers some simple, no frills movie mix templates and allows you to save video stills. After recording up to 60 minutes, just flip out the USB arm to connect it directly to your computer, eliminating the interiminable wait time of digitizing tapes.
This unpretentious gadget is a great choice for geeks and tech-challenged alike. Priced around $123, it's a relatively affordable way to capture moments like an uncle bothering a kid who just wants to watch Calliou in peace.

We have a similar camera and I cannot get over how great the USB arm is. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
I've been very sad over the loss of the quick video function when we bought our dSLR. I may have to insist on getting one of these.
