During 2002, Intel sold a digital camera that pre-dated the mp4 
cameras out now.  

This is what it did:
Records 30 fps AVI video clips, any length(depending on 
size Memory card)
Still pictures(had autoflash)
Records WAV audioclips
Built in memory-64mb
Run great with pentium 4 processor
Didn't have a display screen but 97% of the time
I got quality footage that I could use, though that
succession rate is a lot lower in dimly lit shots

I only paid $130 for this thing and it did things that would've
been great for cost conscious videobloggers. Unfortunately, Intel 
discontinued the camera. I lost mine on a buiness trip and I wish I 
had it now. (Maybe there's one you can find on eBay)

Another camera that was great was one produced by Logitech.
(another digicam and web-cam hybred)
