Wanted: Video camera

Unread post by Vertigo »

looking for a cheapie video camera to start off my storm chasing documentation. should do at least 640x480 at 15fps, 30fps is more desirable. looking for 100 minutes of battery life/memory space. is this doable under $100?

Yep, my Powershot SX100 does exactly what you need : 640x480 at 30fps.
And the Powershot SX1 can do HD movies in 1920x1080 at 30fps.

Found this one on Trade me says its only been used a few times and its a DVD one.
Current bid is up to $205 with a buy now price of over $300 which isnt too bad.
