Video camera options?

[young-gun]

Looking for input on a good video camera for sledding. What do people have and what are good? Thanks for the input. PS. Hand held, not a Go Pro.

can't go wrong with anything sony, just have to decide if you want a hard drive model or flash memory. they make a few models with a super slo motion feature that lets you record at 300 frames per second for 5 or 10 seconds, and plays it back in a 30 second liquid smooth "mythbusters" slow motion clip. awesome for jumps and cornice drops, etc....

When I bought my newest camera, Canon SX30IS, I actually brought home a Sony first. It was sweet with all the nice features but a pain to work with after the day was done. Special card, special cables, hell the salesperson didn't even sell me a card that fit the camera.

If you're willing to work with the Sony "system" then go for it as they doo have great cameras.....

I'm a sony mark....I have 3 sony camcorders, 3 sony digital cameras, 2 sony computers, 2 sony flatscreen bravia tv's....I'm down with the sony "system"

if I didn't have a sony camcorder, canon would definitely be my next choice. I believe they are the only company that builds their own lenses, and exclusive to them.

I bought a Canon point and shoot this past spring here. Can't remember the model number, but its a 16 gb camera. Takes amazing pictures, and is really slim. Don't even notice it in my pocket.

I got a canon t2i dslr, I like it. Takes some getting used to but it rocks.

I have a Canon HF200 and the image stabilization is terrible...go Sony!

I'm a hard-core Canon guy, but I ended up with the Sony HDR-CX360V because it can record full HD at 60p frame rate and has a wide angle lens. So far it's been doing a fantastic job!

I have a little FUJI water proof camera/video that works great!
