Do you watch video from YouTube? Or even upload your own creation to it? If you do, check out this new release from Sony. They have released a new pocket camcorder dubbed the Sony NSC-GC1 Net-sharing CAM. It shoots video at a low resolution so that you can easily upload it to YouTube. The video capture ranges from 15fps at 320×240 to 30fps at 640×480. The videos store on a Memory Stick DUO card, so they can be easily transferred.

While that may sound like a pretty good idea, they failed miserably for one simple reason. The retail price is $200. You can buy plenty of camcorders for that much and get a lot more features. You don?t even get an optical zoom. So what?s the big idea Sony? You want to charge us extra because you let it only capture in formats that are acceptable for YouTube. Sounds brilliant.

If you don?t mind paying too much for too little it will go on sale sometime in September. Preorders, however, will be taken on July 19.
