I was looking to get a small video camera for making some cheesy biking films. Any recommendations?
I found this one that looks like a mobile but it looks good for what I want to use it for:

Any others? I think it needs image stabilisation.
I've got the md08 or whatever its called, £20 with a 8gb card and the image is Ok, rubbish in low light due to the tiny lense.
They sell that Kodac in ASDA for about the same price, had a look at it but can't see how you'd mount it anywhere. Fine if your holding it and videoing someone else, but then you may as well buy a cheep 'proper' camcorder with all its benifits? Or even better, most bridge cameras (something like a finepix s9500 easily in budget s/h) shoot video, and with the big lenses they probably work much better in low light.
A basic compact digital camera is about the same price as that Kodak and will shoot video as well as taking stills.
I liked the idea of a fixed lens as I broke my last camera due to knocking the lens.
