Thinking of buying this "combo" camera for its obvious 2-1 capabilities, but is the video that this camera takes any better than that of any high end digital camera, like the Canon SD500?
Is there anything else comparable to this on the market? Or should I wait on the whole camcorder/digital camera combo until they hammer out something really great, and not just something gimicky....
Thanks in advance,
Jim
