Which one is the best????

I prefer digital cameras because theres more you can do with them, if you go out for a scenic drive you can snap some photos along the way, and then either print them out, set them as a wallpaper/screensaver, or just show some friends. Video cameras are great for recording family outings and sporting events, but they aren't practical if you want to record some scenes of nature, as most people won't want to watch a full movie, they would rather look at a few pictures.

If you've got an unlimited budget, you can do both with some fancy camera syncing

These cameras are for professionals... It's not easy to carry them anywhere you go, they're huge!

My DSR camera is already big and I have to carry two lenses, so imgaine with that camera...

It's technically a valid solution (and far superior to virtually any digicam solution available).

To address the original problem, I think a ultra slim pocket camera would probably quite suitable -- they're more than capable of capturing quick little clips -- it's a vacation we're capturing here, not a wedding so it WILL be relatively shorter clips and the small size lets you bring it whereever.

Yes a good digital camera should do it.

You can find good 8 to 10 MP cameras for around 200 to 300$ now, and they can also take some ok movies
