Video Camera on a Budget

[c4scooters]

Well, I know people want me to get a car instead of a camera, so I decided I wanted to get a video camera, just so I can make videos of the team and stuff...

Right now, I only have $1,500 to spend, so what do you guys recommend getting?

I like to film lines so a good fisheye would be great. I also ride a lot at night and in low light so a on camera light would be cool. The camera has to be HD, too.

Thanks!
Gino

Canon HV30, get a baby death fisheye, a bescor light, a rode video mic and make a handle. Best HD setup your going to get with the money you have.

Which Bescor light should I get? And which Rode microphone should I get?

And I'm going to get the Canon HF-10 because it seems more updated.

Someone just made a thread asking about lights, read that. Get this mic, http://www.amazon.com/Rode-VideoMic-directional-Condenser-microphone/dp/B0007U9SOC , its big, its ugly, and it sounds awesome haha.
