Sony Bloggie Touch MHS-TS20
What reviews say:

'Attractive.'

'photos were sharp and accurate, and the Bloggie is definitely a serviceable pocket camera.'

'Still, for just £178, it remains a pretty good deal.'

'At 4.4 oz and measuring in at 2 x 4.2 x .59-inches, the Bloggie Touch is remarkably thin. '

Kodak PlaySport Zx3
What reviews say:

'Integrated with advanced technologies, the camcorder has a full 1080p HD video capture at 30 frames per second and can also capture 5 megapixel HD stills. '

'In camera mode, the Kodak PlaySport Zx3 seemed rather slow to focus but otherwise takes reasonable snaps for a camera of this type and that you’ll be using one-handed. '

'So-so video quality'

'So by osmosis the PlaySport comes across as a pretty cool piece of kit from the outset.'
