Medion S47000 rugged pocket camcorder

Pocket camcorders have proven themselves at being very popular, but what if they were ruggedized (shock and splash resistant) too? Medion bets that making rugged devices will help it take some market share from Flip. The S47000 has a 2-inch LCD in the back and just a couple of buttons -for simplicity. It weighs less than most cellphones (85g) and can also snap still (low-resolution) photos and play Mp3 files. It costs about $150-$200.

We like it just because it’s cute.
