Since you're involved with actual televison, you might consider getting the HD version, just in case. I use the Samsung NV3 digital still camera that records video/audio. The audio's completely unreliable when it comes to really loud sound and wind noise, so if that's important to you, I wouldn't recommend the Samsung. I just saw the c40 the other day. It's really small and really light. I was told by the owner that the video quality's really good as well. Try the search function for "xacti c40". -- Bill C. http://ReelSolid.TV
