Handycam HDR-TG1 Camcor

Strengths: Small size, anti-scratched titanium case, HD quality video, camera option

Weakness: Can't be used as a webcamera

I've been using it so far for a week and the quality of video and pictures were awesome. It can record HD video slightly over 90 minutes so I got an extra battery with an external charger to keep my shooting running. For some reason I was not able to use it as a webcamera because via USB I could only exchange data from its memory stick. Anyway, this camcorder is a pretty good investment.
