I'm looking for a digital camera this Christmas, and it needs to be Linux compatible. My only requirement in addition to "takes descent pictures" is
that it also takes descent video. Can anyone recommend one?

I've got a Fujifilm S 5000 that's great. It shoots 640x480 video with sound, though you need mplayer to play it back, IIRC. It can switch between acting as a USB storage device and camera mode when you plug it into your computer. It's also got 10x zoom. It's an older model, so you'd probably want to get the newer version. I bought mine secondhand when the previous owner upgraded, so I got a good deal. :)
