Another trend at this year's CES? YouTube camcorders, of course. Illinois-based Cobra Digital has come out with their own entry into the field. The DVC950 looks a lot like a slimmer version of the original Flip, but manages to pack in a lot of features that that camera was missing--for a much lower price point.
Like the Flip, the DVC950 has a retractable USB arm, making for easy uploads to site like YouTube. The camera also has an SD card slot, and a swiveling 1.5-inch screen for those among us (read: teenagers) who like to shoot videos of themselves. The camera doesn't have a built-in battery, however, and requires two AA batteries.
The camera ships with software, a USB cable, and a 256MB SD card. The DVC950 carries an MSRP of around $60.

I have the misfortune to own one of these under the micam brand. Otherwise, same casing, etc.
The camera is no good in bright light, useless in low-light. Of course, it only cost $AU30 at K-Mart, but drove me to want to outlay over $200 for a REAL camcorder, the Flip Ultra.
I doubt this particular camera will give Flip any real competition. Needs a LOT of work to even come close.
