Whats a good video camera to take snowboarding?

Question

It needs to be tough incase someone falls with it. and please no helmet cams. Ive looked at the flip video camera and it looks like it might break easily. Thanks for your help

Answer 1

flip video camera is sturdy. ive threwn it at walls and it still works.

as soon as you get it take it out of the box and throw it at the ground i guarantee it wont break

Answer 2

Instead of choosing a good camera, consider a cheap one.  That way, you won't be upset if you break it.  If you spend a lot on one, you may lose some good footage worrying about damaging it.  There are even disposable camcorders available for about $30.

Answer 3

Try the Panasonic SDR-SW20. It's ideal for this kind of stuff as well as being useable underwater up to 1.5 metres. Brilliant. There is a review on Simplydv which says it is good. Also look at the SDR-S7, which is tiny.
