In Aldi's Father's Day Promotion.

…So no special advancement over my PowerShot TX1 (2008) which is covert and smaller. But in any case, one should provide a link to a recorded video sample.

  One should, should one? I haven't a clue how to do that but I'll bow to your superior knowledge. Perhaps you would care to oblige as you obviously know how to find this.

    Actually, it's fine. I'm just not ready to replace my branded model.
    Good price for a new camera though.

Reads like the specs for a phone camera.

  Well spotted. As such it's really suited as a kid's toy at best.

  It's like a bulky camera phone then. What is the point of having this?

I'd like to be able to take video of a squash match. Given that the black ball is hard to pick up and they change to a white ball for TV, I'm not expecting great things. But perhaps someone who knows something about video cameras and what they are capable of can suggest some specs that might make a difference for this application.

  Epic Red should do the trick.
