" On short excursions, especially outdoors, it&amp;#039;s not always convenient or practical to lug around your fancy, pricey, full-sized video camera. Pocket camcorders are lower-cost, kid-friendly, and designed to record footage you can quickly upload to your computer or directly to a Website like YouTube. Nearly all have a built-in USB connector, so you can plug them straight into a computer \u2014 no extra wires to tangle with \u2014 or even connect them to a TV with a USB port to show on the big screen (for non-USB TVs, you will need video output cables). Plus, some even tout HD-quality video. For each of the nine cameras tested, we compared features and attributes like physical size (for portability), screen size (for recording and reviewing footage), and ease of installing the software. We then had consumer testers rate them after putting them through the paces of normal use: recording a video, watching the clip on the camcorder, uploading it to the site, and deleting any unwanted clips. Then, our engineers recorded indoor and outdoor footage and rated its video quality on our 42-inch TV and our older tube. While none of these is poised to replace your full-sized camcorder, we were, overall, impressed with these mini-cams. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
