Whats The Best Pocket Sized/Point & Shoot Camcorder?

Apr 5, 2011 7:06AM PDT

I'm looking on Amazon for an HD point & shoot pocket sized camcorder for like $100. I've looked at pretty much everything and have pretty much come to a struggle between the Kodak Zi8 and the Kodak PlaySport(ZX3). The Zi8 is great except for its default mic sucks & I'm NOT looking to buy an external one, the PlaySport(ZX3) has good Video and Audio plus Waterproof; don't really care for it but accidentally dropping it into a puddle or any type of water and it being OK is a relief. I'm wanting to buy a camcorder for YouTube and random funny stuff that happens on a daily basis and can never capture them, also I have a family reunion coming up and I'm going to want to hear everyone's voices on the video's. I'm only looking to pay between $100-$120 I know that wont get me something AMAZING but I just want to get the best for what I can afford. I'm open to suggestion on other Camcorders that aren't these.

Please Help and Thank You.
