i was wondering if you know what the best, most durable, HD camera with playback is. also it has to be under $120, cause i found a few w/ great prices, but they were all lacking in something. thanx

Under $120? You'll have to shop around...alot
Most basic cameras have a video function but you get what you pay for. I like Canon alot.

an HD cam under 120? worthless. the video quality of those things are worse than standard def cams.

for hd to be worth anything your gonna be spending at least 400

What do you guys recommend for under $200 for a standard def with good optical zoom and flash memory for taking snowboard videos?

I currently use a 35mm canon sd600 elph. Works pretty dec but was thinking about stepping up a little. Thanks.

look on skateperception.com, and find someone selling a panasonic either gs120, gs320, or gs500. for snowboarding you want at least a 3ccd cam
