What camcorder features do I need for vacations?

So if you're thinking about a vacation or you're thinking about going out to purchase a camcorder for that vacation, size and weight play big into that decision. If you're into hiking or sports, sometimes the smaller the camcorder the better. The best camcorder for you is the one that's with you and not sitting at home because it's too large or too heavy. So the smaller ones, the lighter ones. Also think about battery times and things you have to lug around. When you're shopping for that look for longest battery life. The smallest one, the easiest one to take with you would be my suggestion.
