small video camera - help please!

[996nick]

I'd appreciate some help making a decision on buying a camera to take video.

I really only want to use this for family type stuff and road trips. Criteria is that it has to be small (i.e. go in my pocket) and take a decent HD video. Sound would be good.

I have looked around at flip and so on.

Narrowed it down to:

A sony MHS-PM1

A Creative vado

Then saw a thread which recommended a Canon as something that was a better option.

Canon IXUS 110

I'd really appreciate some help - any and all comments welcome on whats best to buy with my criteria.

Thanks in advance.
