    the main benefit is its cheap/ water proof and has a screen so its easy to setup
    yeah.. 55 mins isnt long enough for me though..

    ah well.. saving up for a proper one

    Old Kodak Zx1 for me

    Its....Weather proof, takes AA batteries, has an LCD screen, records in 1080 HD @ 30 or 60 fps (I use 60FPS), has a remote control, takes SDHC cards (running a 16g class 10), Has a built in HDMI connection for hooking up to your TV directly(has av as well), and it can run off a 5v power input

    ...currently it gives nearly 2 hours of non stop recording!...and if I take the spare recharge batteries...I can get nearly 4 hrs recording on a 16g card! (but it can take upto a 32g HDSC!)

    Cost.....ZX1 $50 off tardme, 16g SDHC $24-tardme, Camera mount...made one=free (A "modified" lol spark plug socket that "plugs" into the trippletree)

    Total Cost - $74 for all weather 60fps HD recording....a bloody bargin!

    ...And I never leave home without it!

    (currently looking for a fisheye lense for it (magnetic one)...the standard lense angle is a lil bit narrow)

    ...I lean into it!

    Keep checking mate!...they come up for sale on TM heaps!, they usually sell for under a hundy (I got lucky and scored one for $50-and it was nearly brand new!-unwanted prezzy)

    REALLY recomend these as a good "budget" HD camera...Shoots great footage @ 60fps (great for slow-mo and screen shots etc, The sound is...meh!, but I have stuck a small foam plug over the mic hole-so now no wind noise etc...just the lovely whine of gear driven cams and the exhaust note now (mostly cams due to camera location lol)

    ...happy hunting Tig

    Sounds promising - will keep an eye out. Thanks!

    BTW, what class SDHC card do you use in your ZX1?

    I've tossed up whether to grab a camera for a while. I suppose it'll come down to "disposable income" in the end. Looked at this one (OP) but like a few have said, I'll save the pennies and get a decent one. I have a cheapo and the quality is average. I'll mount it on the swing arm or something if I get another.

    Will probable end up getting one of these. Cheap for what they are and tiny as hell.

    That alright for a class 10 at 16gb. In fact, that's bloody good.
