Hi, I am looking for a camcorder, I see that there are some cheaper than chips on ebay eg 3.1MP Mini Digital Camcorder Video Camera &

£35 delivered is indeed cheap...

You get what you pay for... the stills quality might be passable (e.g. for emailing, I would doubt they would make good prints). The video will be web cam type quality - 15 frames per second, 320x240.
