Some of them are hybrids and some are GPS-enabled. They're not cars, they're digital camcorders and the recent generation of them have almost as many options as automobiles have.
Want to take 8-by-10 quality photos at a friend's wedding, as well as high-definition video? Canon's "hybrid" VIXIA HF S100 includes an 8-megapixel camera. Into "geo-tagging" your video so you know the exact location of where it was shot? Several of Sony's camcorders, including the HDR-XR200 V, have built-in GPS. Like a hint of color in your camcorder? Samsung's SMX-C14 and C10 camcorders, due out this summer, infuse a subtle dose of red, gray or teal into the black body of the video cam.
Many cameras and phones do double duty for taking short videos, and the pocket-sized Flip camera brought simple video and easy YouTube-uploadability to the masses, with prices starting at around $149. It also incorporated the use of flash memory — not a hard drive or mini-DV tape — to store video until it is offloaded to a computer or to the Web. More companies are incorporating flash memory, which has also led to smaller, sleeker consumer video cams, many weighing a pound or less.
