I just picked up what i consider to be the perfect compromise when it comes to still and digi-video camera. I was originally looking to buy the Pentax MX to do a little video of my daughter's skating team. When i kept losing out on ebay bids for this camera I stumbled across the Casio exilim EX-p505. It's a 5 mpeg still camera with outstanding MPEG-4 movie capability (VGA 640-480) on an SD card. Right from the camera into the computer. Over an hour worth of video on a single 1 gig card. So far I have been very impressed. I think it might be alot for an child and I paid $278 US on ebay. But it is certainly worth the money. If you are interested check it out here...
