Currently I use a Canon 850i camcorder which produces reasonable, but not brilliant results. I use it main for skiing and I find that 1. it is too big and b. the colours are a bit washed out(probably because I dont have it set correctly).
Anyway I am looking at buying a truly pocket size camcorder which will give me at least the same quality of video as the Canon - does such a thing exist?
Also I want it to be able to take reasonable still pictures, as I am fed having to carry both camera and camcorder about.

I have been looking at:
Panasonic SDR-S10 SD
Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG65 SD Card Camcorder
Canon TX1
Sanyo Xacti HD1000 High Definition SD
Samsung SC-X105L

Anyone got any advice on which is best for my requirements?

Thanks

I'm a fan of the TX1. It is compact definitely, with a 10x zoom and decent image stabilisation. May be a bit fiddly with snow gloves on, but what's not going to be?!

Head over to the TX1 Blog for heaps of info on it.

In a similar situation, been also looking at the Panasonic SDR-SW20EB

Just waiting for some more reviews before i commit.

Have you seen the SW20 review at CCI?
