[senit] digital still cameras

hi anyone recently got any digital still cameras that

We've been very happy with Canon's Ixus range, over the years we've  
had various model numbers and all have been fine for mpeg movies.

Well worth a look too if you have about £350 is Sanyo's Xacti  
camcorder/stills camera. It records HD quality video and stores it on  
SD cards. There's a really comprehensive review on this link, and  
although the reviewer has doubts, it's only about the 'high' price,  
which since itr was written has virtually halved. As it records to SD  
you could just access the various clips you take as individual files  
and embed them in whatever you see fit.
