Re. battery: one can get a "Sanyo DC adaptor VAR-A3 for DB-L80"
(~$20). Plus a generic DC adapter and that's continuous power.

It needs a separate SDHC card; only comes w/ 80mb onboard ($80 for
32GB Kingston SDHC on Newegg).

Saw a couple claims on the comment thread (not mentioned in its manual
or specs) that
a) its max file size is 4GB (~30m HD), so there are breaks when it has
to save and start a new file;
b) it can't record while in USB-plugged-in mode (laaaame)

But w/ DC adapter power and a quick card swap it should be more or
less what I want. It's small and cheapish. I ordered one, hopefully it
turns out okay. :-P
