Help w/ CAR RACING recording..which camcorder to buy?

Dec 16, 2005 5:42AM PST

Hi and HELP! My boyfriend is a die-hard autocrosser/drag racer (not a drag queen racing cross dresser). I am researching the best camcorder to mount into his cars to record his runs. Then he can sit in front of his PC for hours and hours in glee. I am hoping to stay in the $500 range, as we are car poor at the moment. Happy I'm debating the Sony Handycam and the latest Canon DC20....both with DVD options...do we even need the DVD option? We're not all that tech saavy, except in the auto-realm. Thanks for any advice in advance.
