Looking for onboard camera

[wallot]

Need something that will record onboard videos at full speed :)

Nikon7600 is ok at low speed but no chance at more than half throttle

any suggestions (something that does NOT cost a fortune)?

5 minutes of recording time would be nice or slot for memory card.
no need for zoom.
dont want wireless solution as i would have to drag laptop with me

The Nikon says it will do 30fps, which should be fine. Cartoons are typically 15fps IIRC or less.

For instance, 40mph is 58 feet/s. So, you'd get one frame every 1.9 feet, which at 40mph is pretty good.

The Canon A620 (which is what I have and like a lot) will do 60fps.

Just remember, the higher resolution and frame rate you go, the more memory you'll need.

i got 2giga card so thats not a problem but it has problem focusing at such speeds. it works great when i shoot truck videos

A620 is out of production :( but it looks quite big) i'll check other canons

This panasonic camcorder looks cool

but $400 is quite a lot for something that will probably endup destroyed :)

Yeah, the 620 is kinda large I suppose. You can still find them at discount places and eBay.

Since still cameras are generally for still pictures, the cheaper ones are a little lacking in the video department. If you are looking for some type of faster focus management or even auto-stability control, you might have to get an actual digital camcorder. Of course price will be higher...

I have been thinking about trying one of the disposable 20-30 dollar CVS cameras there is lots of info on hacking the camera to download the video without having to send it in.? search CVS video camera hack. :)

Have you tried looking at something like that. I hear a lot of good things about them from bikers.
