Location: Norway | I guess you're gonna film in your boat, then I would suggest a qualitybrand camera that you can have screw-on wideangle lens on. In the cheaper range camera I always look for the cameras that have the most extra gear (that I might could want...like the mentioned wideangle, underwater case perhaps, a hotshoe and minijack for an external microphone)

| Brad,
Check out the Canon Vixia HD (model HG21) - I picked one up about 6 months ago. It takes amazing HD video. Lots of cool features and easy to use. It has a 120Gb internal hard drive and will take SD cards as well for additional space. I have been "testing"it on a small tripod for this upcoming season - It has a small remote control and the screen spins around so you can see yourself talking the video - allowing you to video alone if you want. The only thing I would recommend is an extra battery (around $70) I get about 60 minutes on each battery. I think I paid around $800 but they were fairly new 6 months ago.
