A sensible test would've been to try to operate it in sub-zero temperatures (without dunking it!). My Nokia cell phone behaved strangely outdoors all winter in temperatures as low as -30'C, the display faded and the keylock feature was disabled, though the settings told me otherwise. This would actually be a useful test for manufacturers.

"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
