I wanna start filming skating. I've not had much experience in video before but I figured filming my bros and local skaters and editing it all together would be a good place to learn. I'm looking at getting a miniDV camcorder. The obvious choice would be the Sony VX1000 and I've found a few for around £300 (>$400) with fisheye attachments and stuff. But I figured the VX1000 is gonna be artificially expensive because of its history/popularity.
Are there any decent miniDV camcorders that are less popular than the VX and therefore cheaper?
Or should I just pic up a handy cam for £20 from a thrift shop?
