Looking for a slim digital camera that also shoots video
The thought of getting a secondary, compact digital camera for nights out and for taking car videos has popped into my head.
I'd like something small enough to put in a pocket or girls purse and able to shoot up to 1hr of decent quality video (640x480). Preferably one that uses SD cars so I can swap them between my Nikon D50.
Any suggestions?

A good friend of mine has a EXILIM, his uncle repairs them too.. so it might be a good idea just to grab one of those.

Sony makes a really slim digital camera (they pretty much all shoot low res digitial video). If you beef it up with a 4 gig card it might shoot an hour.

I'm using an IXUS 850IS next to my EOS 5D, and so far I've been very happy with it. 28mm wide-angle, high ISO's ánd IS make for a perfect party-camera. 8)

I've got the Casio Exilim Z1000 (10,2 megapixel) and it's great! Real good value!

Can you record videos as long as you have the space for it or does it have a time limit?
Also wondering that about the Casio..

Canon says: "Up to 4GB or 1 hour (L and M, 30/15fps)"
It can also take SDHC, so maybe it'll allow for even longer videos in the future.

Canon SD Pocket Elph lines. . . e.g. the IXUS.
I am looking at either the SD1000 or the SD750 right now.

If I could wait until the end of the year (when a butt-load of new all-in-one cellphones are released) I would just get a new phone with +2mp camera.. But I also want to record videos with decent quality... I'd like to do things like tape the camera to the bumper of my car or dash

12MP + Leica optics = killer P&S

Thing is, I don't even want a 12mp camera.. Sure it would be nice to make large ass prints, but I still haven't even made a 16x20 print using my D50.
I'd be perfectly happy with 6MP, especially if it's a point and shooter.
