Check out the Aiptek review on steve's digicam with user sample clips as well...

From what I read... seems like a lot of other mini cam can produce better video than Canon's TX1... including Sanyo's CG65 which is sold for about S$400 in SLS (just asked the price yesterday).

I'm also looking for a cam... personally am torn between Sanyo CG65, Canon TX1 (just a little) and very-soon-to-be-released Sanyo HD700.

Anyhow, the Aiptek does look very good... at a very good price as well, with a release price of US$299!
