I would highly reamend getting a flip camera. They make really good video's. They especially are good for making youtube video's. Flip camera's have great light source and you can video tape in the dark. How cool is that. I mean how many video camera's can you say do that. They are kinda expensive but they work. The flip camera company gives you a free exsesory with any purches. I love there desings. They have all kinds they have girly to dad desing's. The recording time for the SlideHd is four hole hours.
