Isn't AVI an msWindows and MPEG-4 an Apple thing?

You can find anything on the Internet. Here is the PCmag full review.

The Point & Shoot Digital stored the video clips as AVI files—and they opened up easily in Windows Media Player 9.0. The clips were also easy to import into Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0.
Considering the overall quality of the video, my Canon digital camera with a 1GB chip would probably do as good of a job.

The best I think of is that MPEG-4 is a compression and AVI is a format. I still have a hard time playing mix and match with all of the elements in video.

AVI (audio-video interleaved) is a "wrapper format". MPEG4 is an ecoding scheme ("code"). so anAVI format file may be MPEG4 encoded....and it's not particularly an Apple encoding.

This post has an image of the little still/video camera I carry. Not fancy, and not killer quality, but very inexpensive and it got me though my UK trip. Most of the stuff on my Flickr were made with it.

Well, here is a noname brand on Overstock. What I can't figure out is what 12MP interpolated means in terms of quality since the camera is listed as a 3 MP recorder.

Quote:
2048 x 1536 CMOS image sensor
4000 x 3000 (interpolated), 2048 x 1536, 1600 x 1200, 1024 x 768, 640 x 480 resolution modes
8x digital zoom
If I really wanted to focus on videos and chuck my Canon Powershot (which I can't find), I might look at something like this.
