Best camera for hidden camera stuff? Best hidden camera setups?

Anyone done any guerilla docs here? Hidden a camera in a bag or elsewhere? I'm considering this, wondering about cheap, small cameras that would work well, and good places/ways to hide it...

Its my bread and butter....but I build them all myself! The cheapo chinese stuff is awful at least! my favourite has been the GH1 with pancake for pickpockets..
Another problem with the cheapo stuff is that its mostly 30fps NTSC and I am in PAL world.

I'm also in PAL land, did you ever find anything useful (and cheaper than a GH1?)

With the new firmware, the GoPro Hero does 25p PAL

If you live in a PAL region (most regions outside of North America) you can now record in the PAL broadcast standard of 25 / 50 fps in the following resolutions:

r1 WVGA 50fps
r2 1280x720 25fps
r3 1280x720 50fps
r4 1280x960 25fps
r5 1920x1080 25fps
