Best video camera for race in car footage
Discussion
About the only advice I've seen on this is to buy a camcorder that has an analogue input, so you can place the recorder remotely and use a "bullet camera" to actually capture the view.
Also, if you want to do clever things with computers & the web, you need a digital camera with Firewire/IEE1384 (Sony have their own name for this which I've forgotten). You can get the video off the camera with USB, but it's much slower.
And I'm under the (possibly incorrect) impression that of you want to create DVDs, you need a PAL camera. Many of the cheapo ones are NTSC.

www.rfconcepts.co.uk do a great range of great quality bullet cameras that can be mated to any digital video camera with digital input. if you take a look on the jessops website they have a search tool that allows you to find a video camera by its features. I have a Canon MV650i digital video camera and a basic rfconcepts bullet camera package, and it works a treat!
For multiple views you will need a multiplexer and multiple bullet cameras. Another way you could do it is to use one of the solid storage video recorders that are now available. Have a look at www.drivedata.com
it may also be worth looking at www.goldstar-racing.com/
hope this helps,

i looked a while back. best value package was a canon mv600i (its tricky finding chaep camcorders with analogue in)and rf concepts bullet cam.
it's certainly worth having a look at the archos digital video hard drive thing now though. ive seen good nurburgring (very shakey track for recording) footage with one and the prices are lower now.
