Title: digicam ! which one
Post by: wizard on July 01, 2007, 10:14:34: I am thinking og getting a digicam, but know nothing about them.

I want something that will be suitable for recording general off roading, can be used in and out of the truck, easy to use and even easier to upload the recording.
I have seen some 3.1Mp cameras on e bay going for Â£40 but guess 3.1 is the bottom end of the scale.
Price wise i was looking to part with Â£150ish for either a new one or secondhand.

Can anyone recomend one?

Heres one i was looking at

You get loads more filiming time and it has nightvision, USB & Firewire download, 20x zoom, comes with good (if basic) sofeware and is around Â£150.
I use it on a suction mount looking through the windscreen or handheld (when I'm not driving :wink: ).

If you look at some of DVD cams then make sure they will download onto your PC, some will only download to a VHS or DVD recorder!!
