Pocket Camcorders

[sportsmansB]

We are considering getting a pocket camcorder (like a Flip similar) mainly for recording horses at shows and if we go to look at them to buy etc. Possibly also for for sale horses to put on the internet. Especially at competitions, it is so much handier if you can have it on you and just nip over and record a show jumping round or dressage test...
Does anyone have one of these and if so which one and is it any good??!! All info greatly appreciated!

I have a flip.It would be fine for what you want to do as long as you could get close enough at a competition.The zoom is pretty naff and the quality isnt brilliant.Heres 2 short videos taken with mine.It was overcast when the riding one was taken.The sound is very good so please ignore my daughter! It is so easy to upload to the pc though.

Just had an email from Firebox about a new one, looks like it might be much handier than the Flip and similar.
