there not as good as they sound. it quotes 5mp but wont be nothing near the quality you get from a 5mp olympus,canon,sony etc etc.

also I wouldnt use a digi cam for video anyway, they for some reason save as massive size files for what they are. best to get a real video cam and hook it up on your pc

im not after blockbuster movie quality!! LOL

just want something that is watchable, i want something small and light and easy to use. Not a big old cam corder.

im not bothered on the size of the file cos i will just cut the bits out the video i want.

Get a good bullet cam and plug into a decent camcorder. Niks video from FCS was amazing quality.

LOL if its pants ill take it back.

well give me a link to what you suggest then Mitch???

well I cant fault my set up of a mini dv camera and suction mount but yes it is a little more expensive. I havent tried one of those dv digi cams on a car, so cant really comment on their ability.

 

[Andy_con]

thats all great but i want a camera for everyday use. I just wana be able to film like every journey i do, then take the interesting bits out.

So thats why i want a mini dv cam, buy a 2g card for it.

dont want crystal quality from it, just watchable films.

 

[M1TCH]

should be fine for that then.

iv had a few DV cams over the years, iv always liked the sony ones. you can pick them up for a couple of hundred and they are the proper kit with good quality recording, nightsight, and shake feature etc.

 

[Andy_con]

yeah, i dont wana spend much more than 100 quid. Its just for general videoing not professional videoing.

ive got a sonyhandy cam for that LOL

Is that the hague suction mount Mitch?

I've got one and was half tempted to try it on the outside, how safe would ya reckon it is?
