best point and shoot camera for video recording image
FundQuesti
I don't want to lug around a still camera and a pocket HD video camera. Is the video recording on the new digital point & shoots comparable to the Flip and it's competitors, or is a dedicated video camera better?
Answer
the video quality of most digital point and shoot cameras is about equivilent to the quality of the flip video. it may be even better if the digital camera will shoot HD Video (720 or 1080)
Neither of these will compare to the quality of the better traditional video camera's which are available today.
Another thing you may want to consider is a Digital SLR which has HD Video shooting, such as the Canon T1i or T21 or the Nikon D5000.
These will take video that is superior to anything but professional HD video cameras, for a very reasonable price.
The user interface will take some getting used to, since the camera won't auto focus while shooting, and the zoom function will be performed by rotating the zoom dial on the lens, but I can attest that the video quality is supurb.

I need a good point and shoot camera?

I was wondering if is a really good point and shoot camera under 100$ that has really good shooting quality, battery life, and videos which has good recording and crisp audio? A camera that would be easy to carry around? Thanks!
Answer
Under $100, you are in serious toy-territory.
When you're on such a very tight budget, you're limited to a ultra basic little Point & Shoot camera, and many of those are very similar so it really doesn't matter too much which one you pick (although I would stick with Canon, Nikon or Fujifilm and certainly stay away from Kodak, Vivitar and GE).
In perfect lighting situations, they will take pretty decent photos.
However, they do all have limitations (especially shutter lag and low light issues), and a huge problem is often the lack of manual controls, which of course limits you so drastically in what you can do.
Quite a lot of the limitations can be overcome - or at least improved - by learning a bit about photography.
Read the manual several times, attend a class, borrow some books and look online for tutorials.
I can guarantee you that some knowledge will help you make the most of your camera, whichever one you end up buying.
Do keep in mind that for that sort of money your camera will have a TINY sensor and you can not expect miracles from it.
