I need to buy a new video camera to use on holiday. I'm not looking for the most perfect images, but ones good enough to show off to friends back home when connected to a TV. The camera needs to be small, the smaller the better to fit into a pocket. I definitely do not want a tape based system like Mini DV as they break too quickly.

With all this in mind I was thinking of the Sanyo VPC HD1 which records to a 4GB SD card. Has anyone got one of these and can let me know what they think of it? Or does anyone have another recommendation?
