A very good pocket camcorder that, in a pinch, can double as a decent snapshot camera. With a higher-resolution LCD and a video light, the Optura 500 is a better bet, though.
If the Optura 30 is good, the Optura 40 is better, thanks to its video light. But if you don't find yourself shooting in a lot of low-light situations, it may not be worth the cash.
The Canon PowerShot SD1000 is a great choice for a compact camera because of its small size, excellent image quality, and solid, though not extensive, feature set.

Optura 300 Digital Video Camcorder Review
The good: Lightweight and compact; fits well in the hand; well-placed controls; quality snapshots; autofocus-assist lamp for shooting photos in dim light.
The bad: Clumsy manual focus; short battery life; limited manual control; no infrared night mode; poorly placed microphone; no accessory shoe.
The bottom line: The slick, compact Optura 300 is an excellent choice for picky shooters who want a solid vacation camcorder without the excess baggage.
