What camera is good for taking videos?

[Crusher279757]

I have decided that it's about time to buy a camera so I can post videos of me bowling. I'm looking for something under $150. What would you guys suggest?

Geesh, good question. Bowling equipment I can recommend. Cameras? Hmmmmmmm that's another story. :eek:

You want a decent digital camera that does video or a camcorder?

Thats a difficult find for $150... if you wanted to spend under $500, that might make it easier.

Probably ought to go to your local Best Buy, Circuit City, Micro Center, Fry's... look for open box items. Heck you might check Wal-Mart or craiglist... just do some research before you buy.

You can check for reviews at CNET or maybe dpreview.com (Digital Camera's).

If you find something sure some of can let you know before you buy.
My guess is you want something that will connect USB or Firewire.

j/k ;), but it looks like you're going to need to go to a minimum of $200 if you want to go brand new...

Otherwise, ebay is your best friend and you can probably end up spending alot less as PBA pointed out.
