[MJS]

Been doing a bit of thinking and come to the conclusion that it's about time I bought myself a video camera...

So, done a bit of digging around and I'm now far more confused than when I started...

So, what should I be looking for? All the websites I've seen so far ask 'what type of user are you?' - well that's a dumb question - I'm not any type of user...!

Basically, I want something that's easy to use and that I can download videos straight onto my laptop, and maybe chop them up into smaller bits, but that's about it - don't think I want to do anything else...

So, questions are - what should I look for, what do these things record onto? Is it a disc, or memory card, or something like that?

What about if I wanted to mount a camera on the bike - bulletcam? I need a special input for that? (Where does the camera go also?)

Any help and advice, or suggestions of where to go look for it will be welcome, specific recommendations will be even more welcome

Thanks
Martin
