Does anyone know of a good cheap video camera?

Hi Alois,

thanks for informing me about your video camera. I just looked up your model and found that it was about $580 and that it's been discontinued.

Actually, I think that a normal digital camera would be nearly good enough for basic shooting of TT play. When a coach captured some of my shots, he could see from the little LED screen what I was doing wrong. Problem is that the LED screen is very low-quality, and I'd have to upload the video to computer to see what's going on.

I'm only interested in video cameras because there was a recent sale, with a video camera going for $59 (AUD). I couldn't believe the price. I guessed the camera must be a no-brand type of junk. I've heard, however, that a lot of the unknown brands are actually all made from the same factory. So I was hoping I could get one under $100. Harvey Norman's cheapest is $140. Being a good customer, I might be able to get a discount. But it's probably lacking features.

Can you or anyone help with selection of a video camera, based on prices and features? Thanks.

Cheers,

Andrew.
