Coming from the world of Flip Video to Sony Webbie, this camera should have those beat in spades. Having true 1080p is super cool, but more importantly, I like the image stabilization, low light handling and external mic.. oh and the expandable memory. I’m still wishing it had swivel lens like the webbie, but that’s a small complaint. I can’t wait for this camera to be out so I can give it a real test drive.
