This may seem like a daft question

I'm looking for a good cheap hand held video camera to take with me to disneyland in november and I was just wondering if anyone would have any recommendations on one to purchase as I want to film some of my trip. I had planned on using my phone but with the new selfie stick ban it's put a spanner in the works and I've also realised that my phone memory fills up very quickly when taking videos. My actual camera which while being great at taking photos, is utterly rubbish at video recording.

I was thinking of something along the lines of this. ebay/itm/3812373703...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

These cameras are meant to be mounted on helmets, handlebars etc. not handheld, but you might get away with it. Built in rechargeable battery lasts 1 hour but it won't be that long what with zooming and reviewing, you may need to carry a charger with you. The traditional handhelds in the price range sometimes use standard alkaline batteries but you'll need to carry spares. Have a look at this from Argos

whichever type you go for, I would get it asap so you can familiarise yourself with it.

Thanks for the reply. I do some video blogging so I'm looking for one that would do the job for it. If I don't use zoom, my own camera can work ok but it only lets me video for a few minutes at a time.

I'll have a look around online to see what I can find.

The trouble with cheap video cameras it that the pictures is generally also cheap. Why not go over to the Photo and video section of the Dibb and ask your question. You will get some good answers there. They will be able reccomend some good inexpensive cameras as opposed to cheap one.
