Video camera on a budget

300 bucks? Rent a decent easy-to-learn video camera for cheap, pocket the rest of the money.

They're actually the ones making the purchase. I also want a dedicated video camera for when I want to record longer than 12 minutes at a time, so it works out well for me, in the end. I'm eyeing some of the older Vixia cameras right now, including a nice deal on an HF10 I stumbled across.

One of my favorite little handheld cameras is the Sony CX 110. Best low light sensor you can find in the sub $300 category. Its last years model, so you wont find them at your local best buy, but I'm sure you can find some great deals online.

+1 on a used or leftover-clearance-deal Vixia.

Panasonic GH1..micro 4/3 those are beasts!

To update, a used Vixia HF10 has been secured for $210+shipping. It comes with a canon wide angle lens and a spare battery. I'm planning on acquiring at last one more SDHC card. Anything else I might be desiring with it that won't cost a lot? Don't say a tripod, cause those are expensive and I own one.
