It makes great video with excellent audio pickup, but its audio doesn't upload with the video when imported in IMovie (Mac). I have to covert the movie files to AVI on my PC before I can use them in IMovie--very time-consuming. I want to upgrade to a P&S that shoots movies in HD, but between the tedious conversion process and the irritating proprietary memory I am looking at other options. Tried the Lumix TZ5, but its audio is not good in movie mode, so I returned it. I love my Sony Supercybershot.

Kelly only reported what she saw so I do not see what the issue is. The camera does look great and even though I own a Kodak do not read other people's stories or blogs if your only aim is to criticize. Thanks for pointing this out Kelly.

I am just relaying the specs as announced not giving a hands on review. Kodak vs Sony? On paper the Sony is better. Sorry if you think I sound like a commercial but I just thought it was an innovative camera and wrote it up as such. Well since the camera is not out, how can I test it?

How the hell you know the Sony is better if you have not tested it yet. And only 10 minutes? Mine records with no limit. Your review seemed more like a commercial. i have also owned the Kodak for a year now.

My brother can record lots of 720p onto a 4GB SDHC card using his Sanyo Xacti HD1000, which also takes great stills.

More than the kodak, panasonic or samsung, I think this camera will be more widely adopted and will bring HD recording to the masses. I do agree with you on Sony..the memory stick thing is a deal breaker for me personally, too..I can appreciate it features but I myself would not buy one...

I was just pointing out that this is far from the first point and shoot to do 720p. But Sony sucks simply because of the whole memory stick thing. I won't buy their crap just because of that.
