Pleased with its performance in still cameras and MP3 players, Panasonic is taking its SD memory card to the brave, relatively new world of digital video. The SVAV100 ($999.95) is the first DVD-quality camcorder to rely solely on flash memory to store footage. The decision allowed Panasonic to drop the bulkier moving parts required to write to DVD or MiniDV cassettes. The result: a full-featured camcorder with a 10x optical zoom and a 2.5in.

Flash memory players are often smaller, but they can hold only a fraction of the 10-GB iPod's 2,500 song capacity. Enter the Rio Nitrus Mini Jukebox ($299), a 1.5-GB MP3 player with a slim profile that can still hold 400 titles. Nitrus gets 16 hours of battery life--twice the iPod's--and the included Sennheiser earbuds give great sound...
