But it was a camcorder. i couldnt really believe that fact! U10 was great. Their function was so nice and the lens was so clear as well! It is better than i thought before. And it is small so easy to carry anywhere you go~ U10 is great. it will make you happy:) When i frist time saw U10, I thought it was a MP3 or sth.

I guess the Flips are damn good, but being not available (generally) outside the US, we mortals need to do with the other models. I bought my Camileo S10 few days back, did some heavy duty shooting around and let me assert here that this is a preety good camcorder, as well. I took a whole day, visiting various retailers, testing the Sony Webbie, Kodak Zx1, Aiptek z700, Xacti CG10 and the Camileo P30 & S10, besides the Samsung ST550 [TL225 elsewhere] (a Digital Camera doing 720p HD). These were the compact camcorders available here (Flip Ultra HD, Samsung U10 & Kodak Zi8 are not yet marketed here) and settled down for the Camileo S10 due to: 1. Great form factor. 2. Lightest among all. 3. *Best HD clips (2nd was Aiptek z700). 4. *2nd best Still shots (best was Aiptek z700), but very-very good. 5. **Li-ion Battery (keeps the device slimmer). 6. ***Upto 32 Gb SD Card compatible. 7. Got an 8 Gb SD card free from the store. 8. Similar priced; under USD 160/- [the CG10 is a bit costlier (and the P30 is no better, but bigger)]. 9. HDMI port (a must, so that we enjoy Full HD footage on an FHD TV). 10. ****Deal breaker: Slips easily into my shirt pocket, with ZERO bulge. *Both clips & shots analyzed by playing on a 42" FHD LCD TV. [remember, it shoots just one step lower than 1080p, which is as good as 1080p, an ordinary guy like me would'nt notice the difference at all]. **Bought another Li-ion battery for Stand-by (these are the same as used in most of the cameras & camcorders; thus, readily available - not proprietary; costed only USD 8/-). ***Note: standard SD card, NOT Micro SD; thus, cheaper. ****The S10 is a Flat device, half the thickness of my cigarette pack (B&H 20's) and only half inch taller than it. EDITING & BURNING DVD: I edited the clips & burnt a (regular) DVD - and wow! the movie was stunning. To note here, the supplied ArcSoft Suite is "just OK", but I had no problem making my DVD thru the Cyberlink PowerDirector Express, which is a good movie software and came with my JVC HD7. MY VERDICT: Friends, don't have any 2nd thoughts. If the 10 pointers I mentioned above are also your considering factors, go for the Camileo S10. It is better than the rest. AND be assured, the vids are VERY SIMILAR to that of a Hi-End HD Camcorder (I have one), if you can overcome the top-notch movies you get from them due to their manual controls. But then, we are talking about a "Pocket Camcorder", whose basic purpose is to carry everywhere and shoot at the spur of the moment and under 1/10th of the price the Camileo S10 is a steal. I am deeply satisfied with my Camileo S10; and so would you be!!! {Ps.: The Samsung ST 550 (TL225) is a too good digital camera though, but is double the price. It's Stills are mind blowing, but the Video is lagging behind Camileo S10. I was about to purchase it until I fully tested the Camileo S10}.
