RCA introduced a rather affordable MPEG-4 digital camcorder coming in at $129. The camera is not much larger than a pack of cards and features a 1.5 inch LCD screen that can swivel 180 degrees. The biggest draw back is the lack of rechargeable battery so instead expect to feed this thing 2 AA batteries for a meager 2 hours of power. The device is aimed at the cameraphobic as it can connect directly to the TV and requires no software to connect to a PC. There was also talk from RCA about a DVD dock so users can burn DVDs and totally bypass the PC. Expect to see the camera sometime this spring and the DVD dock sometime later.
