Samsung VP-HMX10C/XEU HD camcorder
Samsung might not be a name you naturally associate with camcorders, but its latest one, the VP-HMX10, is rather good. We like to shoot all our footage in hi-def, which it offers, but we also need something light and easy to carry about.
The HMX10 boasts a touchscreen, an LED photo light and it lets you record to microSDHC cards. Alternatively, there's a model that has 8GB of on-board memory, so you can record without the need to use a card.
What impressed us most about using the HMX10 was the picture quality, which was lovely and sharp. You can buy the VP-HMX10C/XEU for about £400 and the 8GB model for about £500 from several online retailers, including Amazon.

Why bulky USB modem instead of using your 3G phone as a modem?
Again, without (heavy) lenses, for non-professionals DSLR offers very little advantages over carefully chosen compact camera, if the total weight is a major factor. I would go with Sony R1 - it has almost DSLR-sized sensor and excellent built-in optics. Similar optic for DSLR would cost 1-2 grands and weight 2 kilograms.
I would also skip the Sennheisers for plug-type earphones e.g. from Etymotic. They offer even better noise isolation and weights a tiny fraction of Sennheisers.

How about the N95 with Gps and 5Mbit Camera, wireless network. Only downside is the battery...

100 quid for a bag?? Perhaps you should look for a new trolley to replace the one you're off (of). Bags are free in ASDA
