If you ever wanted to videotape your pets fighting to Romanian dance music while on a trampoline, Sony has a new pocket camcorder for you. Sony's NSC-GC1 Net-sharing CAM is targeted specifically at the YouTube crowd, with a low enough price tag and just enough power to throw clips up on the Web. The Net-sharing CAM can shoot video ranging from QVGA (320x240) at 15 frames per second to VGA (640x480) at 30 frames per second. It records to Sony's Memory Stick DUO memory cards, so if you already have a PlayStation Portable or a Sony Cyber-shot digital camera, you're probably set. The included Picture Motion Browser and PMB Portable software helps streamline uploading videos to the Web; instead of going through YouTube and other sites' uploading pages, the software can directly publish your videos to the Web. If you want to shoot more than videos, the Net-sharing CAM also doubles as a 5-megapixel still camera with a built-in flash.
