i want to buy a NOT SO PRICEY small video cam for my grade school kid. i want those small video cam the size of your palm so she can carry it easily. maybe use SD,MD,memory stick etc. i think it can also be used as digital camera and even some can be used as mp3 player.

what feature should i look for?

zoom? megapixel? mpg4?

the video output quality should be decent enough for a DVD burn.
i've seen some cheap pocket size video cam but im not sure how good the quality of their video output when i burn them in a DVD and watch them on TV.

she's a video enthusiast at an early age so im buying her one as a gift. but ill take those not so pricey video cam so if ever she broke at least it's not that pricey.

ive seen this in one of the store here. how good would be the quality?
