Are there any decent pocket camcorders out there anymore??

I'm after a dedicated pocket-sized HD camcorder for an upcoming holiday but there doesn't seem to be many out there!?!?

I know you can use a mobile phone for video these days but my wife wants a smallish camcorder, ideally the "pistol-grip" or "vertical" types (ie. the one's you can close the viewfinder on and slip into a pocket!)

Panasonic (HX-DC1) and Sony (TG3) seem to have done these in the past but for the most part they are only available 2nd hand - is there anything of this nature around these days??

Thanks for any suggestions....

Looks very nice but if anything it looks a bit too small - plus it's a bit more than I was hoping to have to spend to be honest!

It seems there isn't much in the way of pocket camcorders these days so I've dug out an old Sony HX5V that I've not used for about 4 years so I'll see how that looks!

Thanks for the replies!
