Canon is such a c*cktease! The price point is great. The form factor is OK. But a look at the specs on the Canon web site requires me to say "pass." The video specs are miserable and don't even come close to the Sanyo HD1 or 2. A mere 6 mins on a 2GB card at full HD res! (The Sanyo can do more than double that) Unable to handle anything larger than a 4GB card! (Sanyo HC2 will handle 8MB cards) No wonder Canon is marketing this in their camera line and not their video line. What a disappointment. I don't really like the HC1 and was hoping this could be a worth competitor.
