By K.C.Bishoppe

Small, portable high definition video cameras are all the rage now. It's amazing what the average person, armed with a video camera, can accomplish.

But the problem with video cameras, outdoor elements and rugged activities is pretty much the same as the problem with cameras, weather and sports. Both are somewhat fragile and don't react well to wet, cold. knocks and bumps.

Now we've located an amazing little camcorder that's perfect for outdoors. About the same size as a candy bar, the DXG-125V 720p High Definition camcorder is waterproof, heatproof and basically all-weather and all terrain.

With a rugged rubber hand grip, the unit is protected against bumps and drops Its bright red color makes it easy to locate if you drop it in the snow or elsewhere since it stands out.

It also records movies and still images to internal Flash or SD card. The unit has a two-inch screen, an HDMI output, a MP3 player and a compass.

Video and stills are fairly good in well lit areas, but results are not as good in darker areas. Performance overall, for the price of $139, is pretty good, especially if you're in a rainy, snowy or particularly hot arid area where regular devices suffer from the elements.
