It seems like everyone is making videos for YouTube or MySpace these days. This video making revolution has led to some really small and totally digital camcorders hitting the market that make getting the videos onto video sharing sites easier.

By far the most popular video camera for this segment f user is the Flip Ultra. The makers of the Flip Ultra camcorder — Pure Digital Technologies — have announced one million of the camcorders have now been sold.

Panasonic has finally answered the clamors of those seeking a successor to its popular DMC-LX2 digital camera by introducing the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-LX3. This updated model, pricing at around $500, will be available in August.

The DMC-LX3, according to Panasonic, includes enhanced CCD technology, a LEICA lens and what is described as a “wide range of manual shooting controls.” This camera effectively offers 10.1-megapixels and, with the special CCD,  “sensitivity is almost 40 percent higher and saturation is increased by 35 percent.” This reportedly means picture quality is better while also supporting a wider range.

We’ve seen our share of direct to Youtube camcorders. Here’s the latest from Kodak. The Zi6 features 720p HD video and a 2.4-inch LCD.

It’s got a switch that lets you toggle between standard and macro focus distances and also features a flip-out USB connector. The connector button doubles up as a mirror for shooting your face. It’s 128MB of storage isn’t much, but it will take SD cards to increase it. The Kodak Zi6 is available in black and pink. Runs on 2 AA batteries or a USB connection. Kodak plans to ship the camcorder in September for $179.95.

Camcorders have steadily come down in price to the point where they are nearly disposable. Many low cost camcorders produced today record video digitally in formats that are compatible and easy to upload to services like YouTube online. Samsung unveiled its latest camcorder today aimed at YouTube users called the SC-MX20.

The camcorder features a 680K pixel CCD sensor and can record video at a resolution of 720 x 480 with good color and clarity. The SC-MX20 has a 34x optical zoom lens to let you get up close from afar. Samsung integrates optical image stabilization and Face Detection into the camera as well.

Panasonic today added two new HD camcorders, saying these new models are the world’s first AVCHD camcorders with a 3MOS system. The new HDC-SD100 and HDC-HS100 are pricing at around $1,300 and $1,100, respectively.

These new camcorders are based upon Panasonic’s 3CCD technology and, using the 3M0S system, reportedly capture better colors, detail and richer gradation. The HDC-SD100 records to SD Memory Card, while the hybrid HDC-HS100 records to both SD Memory Card and to its internal 60 GB hard drive.

Hitachi has announced a new Blu-ray burner that can create discs from the latest camcorders with eSATA ports. The DZ-WR90 plugs straight into the camcorder and automatically creates discs from the footage that you select. So, you don’t need a computer. It even finalises the discs automatically, making it an easy complete one-step process.

The drive will also work with DVD-R discs, and even supports double-sided media as long as you’re willing to flip them yourself. They’re claiming that a Blu-ray disc will fit around three hours of full 1920 × 1080 footage and burn in 1.5hrs; or up to six hours in 1440 × 1080 resolution. A DVD can store up to one hour of 720 × 480 footage. This should make it easy for anyone who wants a simple way to share their video.

If you’ve been looking for a cheap digital video camera for posting YouTube videos, there is the JVC Everio, but some might find it a bit too large to carry around on a daily basis, and maybe you’re looking for something cheaper still. The Flip camcorders a favorite, but they might have some competition with the latest Vivitar model.

The DVR565HD can record 30fps 720P “HD” videos in MPEG4 or H.264 directly to an SD card. (Up to 4GB cards are supported.) It can also apparently play 1080i videos and can connect directly to an HDTV with an included HDMI cable. It won’t be available for a few more weeks, but Target currently has it listed for just $129.99, which makes it pretty tempting.

There are lots of people from all walks of life that use YouTube for sharing videos for personal and business needs. The problem for many is that uploading and sizing videos for the service can be a pain and the dedicated YouTube camcorders are often junk.

JVC has announced its latest Everio camcorder called the GZ-MS100 aimed at giving YouTube users a quality camera that is easy to use. JVC says the camera features a UPLOAD buttons that allows users to press the button and then start recording. The camera will limit the recording to 10 minutes automatically to match the file size to the YouTube maximum file size.

Most married guys know that once the wife tires of holding something you end up keeping up with it.
