Weatherproofed and sports-oriented, the Samsung SC-X105L Sports Camcorder ($600; www.samsung.com) is smaller and lighter than a deck of cards, cranks out great quality MPEG4 files, and is your ticket to adventure filmmaking. As well, it comes with an external "lipstick cam" that can strap to your bike helmet, snowboard boot, or parachute harness.
