I'm still a fan of the xacti E1 despite it's waterproof design flaws. It's great in low light. Also a fan of the newest flipvideo minos. I used it in china and the clips came in flawlessly to FCP 6. I couldn't believe it. Though it does not take photos sadly. But it is cheap and has that awesome USB flip connector which rocks!
