Check out Michael's review of his new Chinon Bellami HD-1 video camera.

The camera is a full HD digital video camera, except that it looks like an "old-school" Super 8 film camera.  Aside from its novel looks and feel, the camera gives you much more manual control than you get with your smartphone.  The camera has detachable lenses that allow you to change the look of your footage, full focus and apature control, a 1/3-inch, 2.12 mega pixels MOS image sensor and shoots in full 1920 x 1080 HD. The camera operates on two AA batteries and is compatable with many accessories with a hot shoe on top and a tripod plate hole on the bottom.  This camera not only looks cool, but has all the functionality you could want from a digital video camrea. 

Check out more details and buy from Chinon's website.
