I would like to get a camcorder at some point. I want to use it mostly for documenting my off road trips and such. I plan to build a mount that will attach to the dash and point out the windscreen.
Honestly, I know fuck-all about video cameras, the last one my family had was made around 1989. So what features should I look for? Since I plan on using the camera while on the road, an easily replaceable media is important. A HDD is out, I don't want to haul a laptop with a big external drive along on my trips. I also need something that can function through the vibration of off road and dirt road driving.
Of course the smaller the camera, the better.
I don't need something that is really state-of-art. A used camera that is a couple years old will be fine if it has the ability to do what I want at a more reasonable cost.
