Don't get this. The powershot s5 does a better job with standard definition video. And it takes pretty good stills as well.

this is so wrong:
paypal is a paypal auto rebate which hits your paypal account after 6-8 wks - if you're like me that means your wife will spend it before you know its there
blue model shown in the pick is $10 more
tax may be included which means I can get it elsewhere for 285 w/o rebate

why would anyone want video not in HD?

Because it's cheaper.
The quality is ok in sunlight, awfully grainy with any indoor lighting.

I'd rather pay more for one that does HD.

#3. If you don't have an HD TV, which I don't, then there's no point in having an HD recorder.

Has anyone captured a single frame from one of these? Is the resolution adequate for 4x6 inch print?

This is a relatively good price if you're not looking for HD.

I just bought this 3 days ago at bestbuy ($300). The picture quality is so aweful with indoor shooting. Haven't has time to try it outdoor yet.

Cannon tends to be pretty bad with low lights. A quick glance at the specs does not show built-in light. On the pro side, they do very well outdoors.

#7, you'll get a HDTV sooner or later, so... unless you don't plan to keep neither the footage nor the camera longer than 5yrs, HD plays a role...

I've never had much luck with photos from a video camera, they may be a high megapixel but they always seem to lack the color and depth of a photo from a dedicated camera.
