Video cameras

[AppleJoe]

Looking for some sort of camera to strap to my bike / helmet and record some hooning, but I've no idea where to start looking. My budget is as little as possible, but I want some decent footage (I've seen some crap stuff around). Anyone got one, or used one? Any recommendations or 'stay away from this one!' comments would be much appreciated.

Cheers

I like the Archos 405 + Archos camera combination.
The camera it's self isn't quite as good quality as it could be, but is better than others.
This is an example of some footage: https://blip.tv/file/975036 (Click download original, I forget if it was re-compressed after initial filming).

There are a few possible solutions for HD recording now, something like a NV24HD (compact digi camera that does 720p) could be interesting.
Not as an on-bike camera, but this footage was taken with one: https://blip.tv/file/1529061

See here for a comparison of a few of the all-in-one devices: https://helmetcamreview.wordpress.com/2008/11/04/review-number-two2/ - I'm not sure how accurate it is, but should give you an idea.

ATC2ks are worthwhile if you take a punt on a used one for £40. I lent mine to my housemate when he went snowboarding and he got good results. You can check out my videos on my youtube that I did with the ATC2K. It's indifferent but half the price than the go-pro hero cam... I'd say get that if you can extend your budget.

I'm pretty happy with this from maplin. The camera on the main unit is a bit pants tbh but the bullet cam quality is much better. Got mine for just under £100 but they seem to have gone up a bit now.
