    Right where I want to be.
    decent vid cam that's not too expensive for an upcoming vacay.
    Anybody have a suggestion?
    I like Canon stuff. I have a couple dslr cams from them, but have heard good things about JVC too.

    Hard to believe but the best video cam I've every had, and I've had a few, is a Kodac camera that takes still pictures but also has a setting for video. Zap has the same camera too that he uses to post pictures on this forum. It is an EasyShare Z980. No doubt they no longer make that number but you should be able to find many similar cameras that are perhaps even smaller. I like small so you don't have to tote around big cameras and then tend to not use them as much.

    Hope you have a good time on vacation.

    Dave, I have a fujifilm camera, ~$200, bought an extra large capacity sd card for videos. Works GREAT!

    PS Dave, make sure its a class 10 or higher so it can keep up with speed on longer videos.

    Thanks Dennis. I plan to just relapse.:D
    I just remembered the phone takes vids. I'll do a couple tests with that to see how well it does.
    wildwest , uh, what's class 10?

    What kind of phone do you have? Many are very good at taking videos.

    The real question papadave is whether or not you will share these vacay vids here on FHC? Regardless of what you use to capture them....:whistle:
