SHARP VL-Z5U
The SHARP VL-Z5U camcorder, which came out before VL-Z7U, can actually fit in the palm of your hand, making single handed operation very easy. This camcorder also has a swivel feature that allows the lens to rotate to different positions for capturing movies or pictures at unique angles.
The SHARP VL-Z5U VIEWCAM camcorder is definitely an eye-catching piece of equipment. It uses mini-DV tapes for movie storage and multimedia cards for still digital. Still photos can also be saved to the mini-DV tape. I really like the ease of use and the compact design of this camcorder.
