Re: [videoblogging] Recommendations for a small camera (Xacti or other) to shoot in India
I agree. I've been using a Canon Ixus 860 (European name for Powershot, I think) and it shoots beautiful video. I love it. And it's FANTASTIC in low light. Better than Xacti. But not quite so good a grip. I think the Xacti pistol grip is the best way to shoot - better than the traditional camcorder grip. It produces big video files, though, compared to other little cameras I've used - so get yourself an 8GB memory card or two. I found the best deals for memory cards online - shops will rip you off.

Re: [videoblogging] Recommendations for a small camera (Xacti or other) to shoot in India
I have a Sony PD150 PS camera (with a 1G card), tried out the video a couple of weeks ago: http://tesla-roadster.blogspot.com [ my officemate in grad school was M. Eberhard/Telsa Motors ] I was surprised at how good the .mpg looked on my computer. I imported it to iMovie, exported it as a .m4v (iPod compatible). Which I uploaded to Blip.tv, you see the results. They don't look as good as the original .mpg, though.
