Mini video cameras can give you some really cool POV (point of view) shots which are especially useful if you're doing a sports documentary, adventure documentary or an undercover expose documentary.

A great example of how a small camcorder can be used effectively is in the documentary War Photographer. The filmmaker attached a tiny camcorder to the top of the war photographer's camera to document on video what the photo journalist was seeing.

Here are some of the top small sports camcorders on the market in 2012.
