I absolutely love my Sanyo Xacti E1 (newest version is the E2). It is small (easily fits in my pocket), lightweight (about 8 oz w/ battery and memory card). The editing softwear that comes with it is easy to use and the overall quality of the video is amazing. Granted the YouTube versions of you video will look like most of the other ones on there (somewhat blury and grainy). On the other hand if you burn your video to DVD, it is amazingly sharp. I've found the audio/mic to be pretty good. There is no way to add an additional wireless mic. It stores video to an SD card. With my 4GB card I can get over 2 hours of video that is recorded at the highest possible quality. I paid about $350 for mine but now they are as low at $219. on-line.
To see some hiking/backpacking type videos shot w/ the camera, go to [...](my website) and go to the video page link. I've got ones on the following there: Glacier National Park, Mt. Hood, Lake Superior Provincial Park (in winter) and Killarney Provincial Park. The "Killarney" video has an underwater shot in it.
If there was anything I would change about the camera it would be to add a night vision mode which it currently does not have.
It is really nice to know that if I want to film in the rain or jump off a cliff into the water while filming (which I've actually done), I don't have to worry about the camera. It is awesome. Get more detail about Sanyo Xacti VPC-E2 Digital Camcorder and 8 MP Digital Camera (Blue).
