I want a P&S camera that fits in my pocket and shoots good quality 1080p video. Should I get the 300 HS, or go with a different camera?

I'm waiting for the Sony HX7V or HX9V for the same reasons - pocketable camera with great video functionality. It is due maybe in May, but with the situation inJapan I think all dates are up in the air.

The 230 or 300HS are certainly better options if you want to purchase now. :) I'm waiting on Sony because I have it stuck in my head that they are setting the bar for video in this category. We shall see.

you can consider Canon SX230HS nice camera with full hd recording and also performs well in low light. Another good option is Sony HX9V it also has the 3D sweep panorama feature which really looks exciting.
