I have that one too, and since when we vacation I try to carry as little as possible, I end up leaving it behind most of the time. I figure I can transfer the video to the netbook or my external HD on vacation, and both will fit in those tiny safes the values have!
And usually, its just BF and I, so with the little camera I can hold it out and capture both of us in the frame. Its harder to do that with the bulky mini-cam. Its on the truck today--super fast delivery for free!
