... Today woot is selling the same Sylvania HD1Z HD Camcorder-720p, 30fps, 5MP Stills, 4x Digital Zoom, 2" LCD, HDMI & SD/SDHC Slot, etc. etc. that was launched on Woot a couple weeks ago. And you get to choose from Purple, Midnight Blue, Chrome, Black, Peacock Blue. Since it's a launch, there really aren't any reviews for this product. Nor are there any comparison shopping prices. But rest assured, my research is still useful. Other Sylvania products get reviews that are all over the place. Be aware, even though this camcorder looks cool, Sylvania's quality of product is a 50/50 shot.

... Panasonic HM-TA1 1080p HD Mobile Camcorder with LED and Image Stabilization. You can get it in a whole bunch of snazzy colors. Gray, violet, red. I've seen black and white as well. The only thing it's missing is a neat little usb plug that flips out from the side. But based on the Panasonic HM-TA1 reviews and the price on thjis one, I'd say it's a GREAT holiday gift woot. Good for mom, sibling, wifey, friend, etc. And the deal is better. It wooted about a month ago for twenty bucks more.

If it turns out that this is a camcorder that works even just a little bit better than 'decent', then it's worth it. Problem is, I can't find any Sanyo VPC-ZH1R reviews anywhere. Which leads me to believe that this Sanyo Xacti High Definition SDHC Camcorder with 30X Optical Zoom and Bonus Pack, even at $139.99, might not be the best woot.

... This Pure Digital Mino 60 Minute Camcorder seems like a nice woot (it's actually a re-woot from a couple months back - But this time, it's $20 cheaper - yippee), but watch out. Woot always seems to have these Pure Digital Mini Camcorder thingies on a refurbished or recertified basis. Probably not that big of a deal, but definitely something to give you a little pause. But still the Pure Digital F360 Mino 60 Minute Camcorder reviews are really good (especially on Buzzillions) and it seems like such a cool product to have. Sneaky and such. P.s. this one is not to be confused with the Pure Digital F130W White Flip Classic 30 Minute Camcorder (aka Pure Digital Flip Classic 30 Minute Camcorder). The Pure Digital F130W Flip Classic 30 Minute Camcorder has been sold in refurbished format on Sellout.Woot here and there, but it's not the same. Close, but not the same.

... Canon HV20 High Definition Camcorder. A high def camcorder isn't a bad idea these days. Preserving memories today. Making horrible, low budget, skater videos of your kids in ten years. I really think this camcorder will last at least that long. The in-laws have this one. The Amazon reviewers and the CNET reviewers agree with me. It's refurbished though, so be careful with this Canon HV20 High Definition Camcorder. Just not too careful, cuz it's a good woot if you have the cash.

***btw, I forgot to mention that I was going to be on vacation in Vegas for a few days. You all probably noticed though. I didn't win, but I didn't lose much in the end. It was fun. Thanks for asking. Hehe.
