Thanks, camera quality is actually alot better but youtube reduces the quality when it uploads it. Its a pretty cool camera. No tapes, software is all internal, just flip out the usb connector and plug it into the computer. You can edited your own videos right from the software on the camera. Records about one hr of video and uses a non-removable rechargeable battery (like an ipod). Plug it into your tv and watch clips on tv. I got it so I can record my kids and family more frequently. Its so easy, just put it in my pocket, pull it out when I want it, hit the red button to record, hit it again to stop, put it back in my pocket. I find my self taking it everywhere and getting alot of cool spontaneous vids.
Theres 3 different models. I got the Mino for $159 at bestbuy.
