set a budget.
For your snowboarding - will you be only taping others or will you be taping while you are snowboarding?
As the title states, I'm looking for a new video camera. After deciding that I'd had enough of the poor quality video of point and shoot cameras, I've been looking around for a good quality video camera. I'd prefer a camera that's easy to connect to my pc (via firewire or USB)and that has a file type that's usable with most editing programs. I'd be using it to record snowboarding and other sports if that helps at all. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, even if it's very vague.
