YouTube auteurs aren’t exactly short on options for capturing those sub-10 minute masterpieces, but the b2 folks that brought us the miJam have decided to give this crowded market a shot with the new mi VDO FX DV Cam. The shooter sports a 1.5-inch screen, 4x digital zoom (that must look real pretty with this kind of resolution to work with), 18 built-in in-camera special effects, on-the-go editing, SD card slot and USB / AV ports. There’s also apparently a mini-jack input for recording music from your MP3 player while you’re shooting video. No word on price or availability.

As the HD camcorder onslaught continues, Sony is making sure it doesn’t get left out by showcasing the PMW-EX3 in Las Vegas. Aside from handling interchangeable lenses, this cam also features a trifecta of 0.5-inch CCDs with Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) resolution, native 24p support, XDCAM HD EX recording on dual SxS cards, HD-SDI output, USB / 4-pin FireWire sockets and an optional 60GB disk recorder that plugs in via a SxS slot. Of course, we seriously hope you’re planning to put this on the studio’s plastic — after all, it’s not like you want that $13,000 charge hitting your card, right?
