Hi,
I also looked for a budgetcam for some drive-vids.
After some searching i decided to ditch my compact camera and video cam and replace them for a nikon aw110.
Photo,video, for use above and under water and even with an adapter for filters.
Took it on our trip to corsica last month and shot some great footage there. Both in the Z and the sea.. :wink:
Its not low budget by itself, but because i now have only 1 camera i reckon i have my "ride cam" for free.
