We’re in the middle of planning the next portion of our trip. I’m hoping to take and post a lot of video during this next portion of travel, and so I’m in the market for a high-quality, ultra-portable, ultra-easy video camera.

High-quality means the Flip won’t do the trick.

Ultra-portable means most standard camcorders are too big.

Ultra-easy means I don’t have to transcode the video or pull it off a tape in order to edit it.

If anyone has any suggestions, send them to nat@nat.org.
