I heard that video/and photo quality is dependent on the size of the negative (the CCD in the case of a camcorder). To resolve this, professional photographers use so called large format cameras with big negatives.
If this is true, a bunch of close lying pixels in the thin low cost camcorders you propos just show exactly the same information. Don't you think this is somewhat of a rip-off?
The same is of valid for 12 Mpixel mini cameras, 12 Mpixel mobile phones etc.
Please reiview such hardware taking the size of the sensor inot account. The monster camcorders at the end of your review probably have quite big sensors. Othewhise it would be just stupid choosing them over the four ounce cameras with HD in the beginning.
