Genius G-Shot HD520 camcorder for $149


I have always been a fan of these pocket camcorders. Even though most take video that is poor. But most seem to buy these to upload to youtube so it's not too bad for the price. Here is the Genius G-Shot HD520. What makes it stand out is the $140 price tag for a pocket camcorder that can record 720p video. It has a 2.5 LCD and up to 8GB of storage(only 32mb included).
