You have mobile phones which can be charged with solar power and which also offer video recording facilities. However, this camcorder is a fully featured one and a high end model at that. And it is environmentally friendly because it can run on solar power.

The HDV-T900 from Jetyo, a 720p30 model records via a fixed zoom lens which goes up to 8x. The camera is 5 megapixel. It comes with a 3” LCD display and a microphone for audio recording. It comes with dual solar panels to capture and use sunlight to charge its lithium-ion batteries.

The one drawback to this is that the solar panels make it bulky and it also requires a good 25 hours of sunshine to recharge. At only $88, however, it is good choice for the environmentally friendly consumer, particularly as a back up device. It will also require the expandable memory card to be able to store the videos.
