Low cost video cam, for BASE only?
Hi I'm looking for an econo, bare bones, video cam to put on my helmet. My friends keep crying for video. They always have one strapped on to video me. Would prefer new.

I have a Sony PC-101 that I've had for a few years now and it works great. PC-9s and 100s have been out on the market now for several years as well. I'm sure you can find them on eBay for a couple hundred bucks.

I have a small Gateway flashcard video camera. It was the camera i used to learn on before strapping on my PC-101.

The video from it is fine, its resolution i belive is 420 X 420. Its not the best quality, but it is more than enough for a fun toy. Best of all, its only 60 dollars and it can be destroyed without second thought almost.

If comparing it to a camera video phone, its much better, if comparing it to a PC 101 or other DV camera its worse. I hope that helps.
