Panasonic SV-AV100
Digital video cameras that use flash memory rather than tape are starting to appear. The Panasonic SV-AV100 is a DVD-quality SD digital video camera. It records directly onto secure digital (SD) cards. It can record in either MPEG2 or MPEG4 format. With a 512MB SD card, you can record up to 10 minutes of DVD quality video. That may not sound like much but card capacity is increasing rapidly so being able to record an hour of video onto a card isn't far off. Also, if you're willing to sacrifice quality somewhat, the recording times for MPEG4 are substantially longer.
