Digital zoom is meh.

That price is pretty decent. Flip defiantly takes that market, but that price is awesome.

Gah.

Now W00t is selling a camera today.

Thermite. What camera should I buy for less then $100?

Something that has gone from a trivial purchase has gone to something requiring serious thought :-/

Kinda of off topic but what would you guys reccomend for a waterproof camera? I have a Fuji waterproof still camera that does video, and my sister has an Olympus that does 720p video. Would one of those flip styled waterproof HD cameras be a lot better for video, like enough better to justify buying one? I was looking at the Sanyo xacti vpc ca9 for a little over 200 or there's a few more flip styled from jvc, Toshiba, and a few others for around 125. I know they are only good for 10 feet or so and that's fine by me, but I dropped the Fuji at a reef in the Bahamas about 25 feet or so, while recording, and it still works fine to this day, so I know that they definately understate that 3 meter thing.

We are going to Hawaii for my sisters wedding in two weeks and I just have been thinking of getting a video camera. What would you gurus reccommend?
