Cheapest camera with VGA video?

[Erick]

I'm looking for a really cheap digital camera that can take VGA video (640x480 30fps) for an unlimited amount of time, or at least longer than a few minutes. The regular photo ability doesn't concern me.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi Erick,

I doubt you'll get a "really cheap" camera with that functionality. 30fps at 640 * 480 tends to be a feature on the better cameras. Manufacturers are unlikely make a crap camera with good video as the most important function of a camera is to take pictures.

Matt.

I'd have thought your cheapest option would be something along the lines of this...

Obviously you need to buy a large storage card for a decent amount of recording time...

EDIT: Just want to say I've never seen or used one of thse and have no idea how good they are...

My brother-in-law just bought a Samsung Digimax i5 model recently that does what you're after. It seemed cheap to me at £180.
