The Kodak Zi8 video recorder makes short work of capture-to-web workflows. I’m doing some post-processing with QuickTime Pro and Bias Peak, but I wouldn’t have to. External mic jack is the selling point for me, and the use of SD media. Check out this review as well.

Maybe I’ll have time to post more, but so far I’m finding the Zoom H2 to be insanely flexible, now ships with a 1GB SD card, a mini tripod that attaches to the standard tripod thread socket and a plastic handle that screws in there as well so you can hold it like a traditional hand-held mic.
