Local office suply store is having a promotion. Buy $100.00 worth of office supplies & get a free video camera. I need the office stuff since I run a small business. However the video camera is a 1.5 megapixel,4X digital zoom, 32 MB built in memory. Want to use it to video my & friends cars launching & also roll bar mount to video a down track pass & upload on youtube. If this a decent camera for that or should I pass?

I bought a high buck camera with a mini disc... that
didnt work at all, the noise level and the shock to
it were too much... at the end of the run all it
would show was "disc error".... I ended up getting
a tape style camera and it can take the beating for
in car use.... I also have a mini camera that can
be used on the helmet but havent used it yet, it
uses a SD card... I made up a mount so it can be
used on the funny car cage but either of them will
have to see through the back of my scoop and through
the front( I have a lexan back wall in my scoop)

Scott uses one of these on the Lake Erie Monster and it shoots a great vid.

It even came off the wing at around the 1/8 mile mark and still worked when they found it

I have that camera. Staples had that deal. The camera is not that bad but has no zooming or autofocusing while filming. So for racing you set the zoom by pressing the in and out button, it finds its focus and press record. Here is one of my early video projects before I got a real video camera so you can judge the quality for yourself. The photos are from my other still camera and the video portions from this link are from that staples free camera. Enjoy.

Hum....I must be a knucklehead cause I cant get the video to play
