The Kodak Zi8 is the equivalent of the Flip camcorder: very easy to use, uploads to Youtube in 2 clicks and has a built-in USB connector. But the Zi8 has an audio out jack allowing external microphone usage, useful for interviews if you want good ausio. The macro feature makes close up shooting of gadgets possible, the Flip does not have it.
The best "bang for the buck" prosumer DSLR in the Canon lineup. More recent products have been launched since I bought this one (January 2010), you may want to check them as well.
What did you think of this list?

Nice list, Eliane! So this is what tech-minded people carry around :) This is pretty much a wishlist for me -- I'm in love with #3, and I'm fixing to get something along the lines of #1, 4, 5, and 7!
By the way, you should totally feature this in that Ubergizmo community of yours ;)
Love your list! Though I am a Nikon fan, I do agree that the Canon EOS gives a better "bang for the buck". That Kodak Zi8 looks like a great option for capturing my little baby's first years! Thanks for sharing! :)
