I'd like it to be able to capture short video as well - nothing crazy. I've been using a 2mega pixel HP PhotoSmart for a few years but it's clunky and doesn't do video...It's dated and is enough to get by but who wants to just get by?
What is the best size megapixel camera for the buck? Ease of use? Are video's easily uploadable/downloadable/edited? I'm wondering if maybe I should get a camera for photo's and a digital recording device for video's... Thoughts, epinions? -pt |

I have a Canon SD450 "Digital Elph" that takes movies at 60 fps and it only measures 3.25 " x 2 " x 0.75 ". After I bought it I realized that for only 50% more money I could have bought an entry level Leica digital camera - I don't know if it's any better but that way you could tell people that you own a Leica.
