I got this cam off eBay after watching a video on Youtube (below) where dude mounted it to his bike. It is literally the size of a bubble gum wrapper and has a clip that you can latch it on to your shirt or whatever.
Resolution is 720 x 480 and sound pickup is way better than I expected. It has no internal memory (writes to MicroSD) and also takes photos and works as a webcam. I'm not saying it should be your best camera you own, but imagine some of the %!*$ you can do with a camera this small and discrete (reviews said the key remote fob one was better for stealthy use).
I was going to have somebody put it on their shirt or wear a headband and make a 1st person highlight film. My video sucks because I was holding the camera by the USB cable so it was dangling, but again no image stabilization so there is some of that Blair Witch feel.
For a better implementation of the same idea, there's the Veho Micro DV Camcorder for 70$ which shoots in HD and is only slightly bigger and does have native image stabilization and comes with a 2gig microsd. I'll probably buy that one too, but I'm going to put that video in a different post to avoid confusion.
