The cam goes 'dead' when you hook it up via the USB in windows vista, turning into "just" another storage device apparently. I wonder if you go via the HD or AV hookups and use some sort of adapter ... would it work as a web cam then? Or is it time to go plunk another $50 down for a web cam? That would be a shame.

I'm not entirely sold on the device, although the price is quite compelling for what you get.

There's also a macro mode for super close-ups. It's good from about 4 inches in. You won't find this in the manual, but I've found a little trick for those distances in-between, such as a good portion of a display. If I slide the wide/macro button about a third of the way, I've got stellar quality of an object in between the two modes. ;) Dave, that sounds about right for the focal length, but in some test vids, I can effectively get within around 12 inches.

And I like that it includes rechargeable double As. But, like the Flip line, you're not going to do any REAL closeups. Buy.com says minimum focal range is 27 inches. Folks who like to shoot laptop or phone screens may be out of luck. ;) Video quality looks great. And I like that it includes rechargeable double As.

The Kodak won out for me on price, support for 60fps and the ability to take still photos. Oliver, that was indeed with the built-in microphone. I did give the audio a boost before I sent it up to YouTube. Davin, the Creative Vado HD and the Flip MinoHD were two other that I looked at as they’re both comparable.

It comes with 8GB Memory and a rechargeable battery. It connects to YouTube as well. Another great pocket camera to check out is the Creative Vado HD.
