I love the simplicity of my £130 HD Video camera, the Kodak Zi8. Not only does it shoot at 1080p, if you drop to 720P there is a mode to shoot at 60 fps. With the snow on the ground today, it was too good an opportunity to miss testing the 60fps, by taking the dogs for a walk.
Here are the results played back at 1/5th speed (warning HD so you need decent bandwidth or just hit “pause” for a while).
I have to say I’m impressed with the results.

Just beware the camera has a fixed lens (eg. no zoom other than a bit of digital), but for the money & ease of use, & small size it's good to have just for fun :)
