Abel

I was hoping to get a video camera for my birthday and i was wondering whats the best kind thats not higher than 250

Answer
Well as a cinematographer I have used a lot of cameras but it narrows down to only a few I'd suggest for under $250. First is Somy DCR-SX45, It's about $200. I am
currently using one of theses as a secondary camcorder that I take everywhere instead of taking my Canon XLH1 everywhere.
The second camera I'm gonna suggest is waterproof which is the Kodak Playsport (Zx5), about $159.00. I use this camera when skiing/snowboarding, canoeing/kayaking, swimming, and anytime it is suppose to rain.

What is a good camera for backpacking?

Skillet007

Hey all, I do a lot of backpacking, kayaking, bicycling, etc. I was wondering what a good all around camera would be. I don't care if it is a point and shoot or something more professional. I just want some feedback!

Answer
Depends on the trip but I have a Nikon N65 35mm but when the trail gets rough or if theres water in the equation- storms, kayaking, fishing etc or if I`m rock climbing I go to my Olympus 770SW. Its lightweight takes great pics and is waterproof upto 33ft, freeze proof to 14*F, crush proof to 160 or 180 lbs can easily take a 6 foot drop on a hard surface. Its small enough to fit a shirt breast pocket but isnt difficult to find the buttons. They replaced the 770sw (which is 7.1 mega pixels) with the slightly more bulkier 1030SW (10.1 mega pixels, Crush proof to 220lbs)
