"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
I was at Office Depot last night and saw the same thing. The A3 for $249 too. I felt like asking them to sell it to me for $40. Hey, it still plays standard definition DVDs too.
