Samsung St65

[WeeGB]

I've been considering buying a video camera, but according to the reviews I've read, all the ones available locally (Phetchabun province), have various drawbacks, the most common of which is short battery life between recharges. The local shop has just got in a 14MP samsung camera, the ST65 which claims to be able to do HD movies. Anyone got one, are they any good, and most important will th HD movie show full screen on our 42 inch LCD TV? This camera uses SD cards to record, how long is an hours HD movie in Gb?

Thanks for any help / advice, like most older folks, all this new technology is so hard to keep up with! We did ask at the shop, but they didn't seem to know an awful lot about what they were selling.
