Hi All,
Took a couple of videos on my phone over Easter while out driving. Really poor quality - even when viewed on the phone. First time I've used it for video and I wont bother again. Its a bummer as it would have been a great little snippet of my first failed hill climb.

Any recommendations on a cheap digital video camera that would be suitable to take 4wding. Don't want high quality video, just something that would be suitable for video that could be uploaded to YouTube or similar.

Particular camera recommendations would be great, but otherwise some guidance on what features to look for/avoid.

Steve

Something like this?

GoPro - Wearable Digital Cameras for Sports (http://www.goprocamera.com/index.php?area=2&productid=2)

Or a cheap camera from K-Mart that records to a memory card.

Thanks - but a bit on the large side for what I'm after.

Aldi sell a video camera which is small and works OK.
It records onto a memory card and I find it perfect for puting things onto Photo bucket or You Tube.
200 dollars.
