I just bought a new mini dv camcorder so I can get some in car video ;) It has been a while since my old camcorder broke and I do love making race videos so this should satisfy my appetite. I based my decision on which camcorder to get on consumer reports rankings.
Anyways I didn't want to spend a ton on the relatively new HD and HDD camcorders and I am not a fan of the DVD so I went with the tried true and cheap mini dv camcorders.
I got the canon zr800 because it was the top ranked on consumer reports I'm pretty excited and hopefully I can get some real videos for you guys soon.

That would be too close to the dash and I don't think you would capture it all in the picure.

I got a while back the Powershot A560 and that too does videos. That camera takes the best pictures for the price.
