A quick second thought on the Dinghy cam....

Joey over at Good Morning Gloucester wrote regarding the Flip dinghy cam and pointed out that for about the same price you can get a whole lot more camera and suggested the Sony H10 which is a small still camera that also shoots video (but does not shoot HD video) and the Sony H20 (which does support 720P HD video) and he is right either camera would be a better choice if image quality was the only criteria...

The fact that they are just that little bit bigger so they won't fit in a small pocket is problematic and while they will accept a baggie style splash housing (IE waterproof bag) for about $50 or so it is not as bombproof as the hard housing for the flip.

Maybe I just need bigger pockets?

You might want to take a look at Joey's website as he has some neat video up which shows just what the little Sony can do... Take your time as the whole site has a lot to offer!
