With HD capability finally making its way into the mainstream point and shoot digital cameras this year its time to pick up a new daily beater.
Only req's are:
Must shoot at least 720p HD & record in stereo
Wide angle lens of at least 28mm or below (35mm equiv)
No bricks, needs to fit in my pocket
<$500...i'll spend the real $ on gear for my SLR, this is just the beater
Take your pick from the 2 lists below...h264 is preferred for working with video, so as usual looks like i'll end up with another canon, though Panasonic has been putting out some respectable gear lately...

Panasonic Lumix ZS3 / TZ7
