Question HD FPV camcorder for around $100?

Can anyone recommend a small, mountable, HD FPV camcorder for $100-150? It will be my first..it does not need a lot of features, but a good night-scene ability would be nice...

Thanx in advance...

Your going to have a hard time finding a good small mountable hd camera in that price range. I have a kodak playsport cost me $100 at BJ's 1080i60 hd. Gopros are better and cost $299. There are more but they are more money.

If you can bump your pay up a bit, the GoPro HD 960 is about $180. It has most of the features of the full HD version, just won't go 1080p, it's highest is 960p. But Gopros are not known for great night vision. Low light is an issue. What are you using it on?

You can get the contour hd for $129 on amazon. It will do 1080 p I am pretty sure.

Look up Drift HD 170, best bang for the buck IMHO. It has a screen and remote, 1080HD with 5mp stills. Got mine with an extra battery and case from Crutchfield for $169.

i would say the Kodak over the flip. the Kodak is shock resistant. the flip is not.also the flip has better video quality, but the plastic feels to brittle to me. don't get me wrong, for the money the flip is a good camera, just for anything that could jar it i would say Kodak.
