Samurai 20V Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 GoPro Hero HD 2 is considered one of the best.. Not sure if it is classified as cheap though, so my post is useless to you, please ignore it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike2JZ Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) Well I would recommend a few options around that budget (you might have to stretch a little) 1) HDHero2 Motorsports Edition (http://www.awooza.com/uk/catalog/product/view/id/172680?aff_code=gg) can get it around the £200 mark. Very simple and easy to use, great quality too. Most expensive of the lot tho 2) Toshiba Camileo P100 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Toshiba-Camileo-P100-Video-Camcorder/dp/tech-data/B004UJAUDO/ref=de_a_smtd). Just above £100, again very simple and easy to use. 1080p recording at 30 fps. 3) Toshiba Camileo X400 http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5635858.htm?CMPID=GS001&_$ja=tsid:11527%7Ccc:%7Cprd:5635858%7Ccat:photography+%2F+photography+%2F+camcorders+and+accessories+%2F+camcorders+%2F Just over your budget, but I would recommend this over the P100, has the ability to take 1080p video at 30fps for slower shots and 720p video at 60 fps for shots that have fast movement (perfect for in car footage etc) Honestly there isn't a lot of options available around the £120 mark but I would recommend paying a tiny bit more for the X400 as it really is one of the best contenders for performance at that price level.

Suprash Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 For the sake of addding another 50 squids onto your 120 budget, I would go that route and did myself for the GoPro (brand new 170). Loads of good functions, time lapse etc and so suited to cars etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
