OT: video cameras and digi cams

I know it's boring to read my novels with no pictures, so i'm working on getting a compact digicam to take pics. I've taken the D70 with me on some rides, but it's just too big to be convenient. I'm looking for a canon digital elph, or comparable, so there'll be more pretty pictures of overweight guys in leather suits forthcoming.

i'm also wondering about what sort of vid camera to get. granted, it's not like i have such superior skills that videos of me riding the crest will be anything but boring, but i'd like to have a setup for track days and possibly commuting (for evidence in traffic accidents), and making boring videos on the crest :)

the race car guys i know are using the canon ZR series, which i've been told sucks. Keep in mind that while i know cameras ok, i know squat about video. I've seen some guys take video with their digicams and a very large video card, which might be an economical solution as well. The other option is a tank mounted video mount, or a remote bullet cam connected to a camera, mounted somewhere on the bike or on my helmet. suggestions are most welcome.
