Using an HD video camera during your family’s vacation is a great way to save precious memories, but is the new JVC GZ-HD40 the one you should you choose?

In the third episode of the Gadget Lab videoblog, Daniel Dumas and Jose Fermoso take a quick look at the dual format-recording rig and debate whether its juiced up hard drive capacity is enough to lift it above the crowd.

Okay, so we’re trying not to judge this book by its cover, but Taijia’s PSP-860S just reeks of chintzy. The handheld gaming PMP not only plays back the elusive MP4 file format, but it also snaps presumably lackluster still shots with its 2-megapixel camera. You’ll also find 1GB / 2GB of built-in RAM, a USB port, AV in / out, miniSD expansion slot and some form of emulation application. If you’re not dozing by now, you may actually care that it’ll only run you 399 yuan ($59) / 499 yuan ($73).
