Check out this new camcorder from LancerLink  it’ll be priced at around $470 when it arrives in Japan this July - which is fairly good value for a compact high-definition device capable of full 1080p recording.  It has a 1/2.5-inch 5-megapixel CMOS sensor, 3-inch LCD display and SD/SDHC/MMC memory card slot happy with cards up to 32GB.

You can adjust your recording too be as high-resolution or as smooth as you prefer as the DDV-1080HD will either capture in 1080p at 30fps or 720p at 60fps.  Both modes create movies  in .MOV format.  Theres no optical zoom but it does have a simple 2x digital zoom.
