Hi all,

I am looking for a basic video camera to tape the weep hole procedure at the BMW-LT Spring Training Camp next month in North Carolina. We are then gonna post it to the site (Randy Prade will do that) so all can see it. Maybe also present it at the CCR.

The thing is, though, that I dont have and dont know that much about video cameras. Can u make a recommendatiion? Id rather be in the $2-300 range than the $6-700.

THANKS,

Since the video world is shifting to HD, there is a lot of very respectable second-hand video gear around.

Check eBay using ¨mini dv¨ as your search query. For about about 100 bucks you can get some pretty decent video gear. The resolution offered by this older technology is more than adequate for viewing over the Web.

Mini DV cameras use tiny video tapes. The trend today is to record on internal hard drives or solid state/flash memory. But you will pay a bunch more for this technology.
