Pocket Camcorders
The pocket camcorder genre came about in 2007 with the release of the original Flip Video. Since then, pretty much every camcorder manufacturer has tried their hand at a Flip knock-off. Today, the marketplace is populated with pocket camcorders. Most shoot 1080p HD video (though the Flip is the lone 720p hold-out) and offer electronic image stabilization. Due to the nature of the slim, vertical, pocket-sized designs, the lenses are almost always fixed-range. Many feature built-in, swing-out USB arms, and all of them allow for quick and easy Web uploads, usually based on some in-camera software. These aren't perfect video cameras, and the growth of video-shooting cell phones threatens their long-term success, but right now, they're good enough for many folks out there who just want to take simple videos to share online.
