The video was good enough for me to taste the salt water. Nice report, good details. This is why they keep Blam around. ;) #goproherohdwidecamerareview
I used the mino hd. I didn't like it. The touch buttons were too sensitive, the lens was right where you'd put your fingers if you were to hold it in one hand, and the button combination to go to the settings is also the record button.
I don't understand all the rush to these HD digital camcorders for the regular consumer. Maybe for youtube length shots this might be useful but when I take 3 hours of SD vacation footage, edit it then run it through my filters and finally add any SFX I want to add every 20 minutes of 720x480 takes 48+ hours to render out on my quad core system. I couldn't imagine trying to do that with HD.
Personally I would rather have a nice SD digital that produced colors on the level of a professional camcorder with better low light and less noise before I would even THINK about going to HD.
I've been waiting all summer to post that rant and I finally got live internet privileges at the institution after they were taken away in May. Read only Gizmodo printed out on old newspapers can get frustrating.
I'm betting that they pulled the camera last minute because they had a nano-style video only camera in at first, and they decided that the backlash from having no camera would be better for them than the backlash from having a camera that's terrible compared to the one in the 3GS.
that actually made me more hopeful :D but im in a pickle...i have to get a new ipod because my touch is on his deathbed....oh well i guess 2 touch's arent SO bad ;]
@mstolfe: Actually, touches are highly territorial. If you leave them in the same home they'll fight until both are damaged and nearly useless.
I will save you that heartbreak and take it off your hands. You're welcome in advance.
@IQslump: Actually it depends what is installed on the touches. Ive heard rumors of people leaving two touchs running isteam in a room together, and when they came back there was a bunch of ipod nano 4g laying around.
Ive also heard rumors of people getting a nano 5g when they left a iphone and touch in a room together.
I got on chat with them and asked them something and called the new touches a G3, they said that it was still a G2, but he HIGHLY recomends getting the 32 gig instead of an 8.
I am giving it until end of October to come out, then im buying a new one... its hard to live withought my touch.

-Removable battery (Ultra HD has one though)
-1080p capable. Lower res available.
-Still shots
-Image stabilization
-OPTICAL zoom, at least 2 or 3x
Wouldn't care if it added a few millimeters or dollars. I just want a true HD pocket camcorder that's not a fugly square (lookin' at you, Kodak).

It is a LOT cheaper, but definitely not as compact or as cool looking!

I was so going to get one but lack of camera made me hesitate.

At the same time medopal is right. If you play the waiting game with iPods or cellphones (or any piece of tech really) you'll wait forever.
Still, this is a unique issue in the iPod world because usually you wouldn't know that such a device is forth coming.

Of course it was real... We saw time and time and time again that it was the plan.
Hell you can see in the keynote right where they would of segued right into the camera part.
