[ale] looking for a truly Linux friendly camcorder

[Jim Kinney]

I got a Sony "Webby". I can seee it as a thumb drive with the usb cable or I
can pull out the (stupid, proprietary) sony media stick and poke it into a
sd card slot and it "Just Works". Saves files as MPEG4 Claims to be HD
capable. cheap! easy! Bright freakin' orange so it's harder to loose!
