New Still Cameras With Video Support
A bunch of new cameras have appeared that add HD video - unfortunately, it's 720p video, but that's not necessarily bad.
Olympus jumps in with the E-5 DSLR, Samsung has the "mirrorless" NX100 and Canon has the G12. I'm not sure I'd buy any of them just to do video, or even to upgrade an existing camera if you have a previous version. Canon also announced the SX30IS, but previous versions of that camera already supported video.
Sony NEX-VG10
It may or may not be shipping today, but you can look at an online copy of the manual for the NEX-VG10 - In Croatian: nexg10.info: User Manual
UPDATE
The manual is now available at NEXVG10.info in English!
