Video cameras?

Im looking to make some good videos with my car in action, maybe from inside thecar or outside as well. What is a pretty decent camera to get? Not to expensive but not cheap either.

Friend of mine has a "carputer" set-up in his 350Z. Very slick and he just has a webcam mounted to the rear-view mirror. Obviously you needn't go as far as he did - if you have a laptop, you can mount it in the car a variety of ways and then just zip-tie a webcam to the mirror...here's an example vid:

this would be my suggestion:

i've got one and find it pretty useful. it's compact and travel-friendly, it's sticky/tacky so it doesn't slide around, and it's poseable so it can hold your camera to various things (like the headrest). downside is that you probably can't have a big SLR hooked into it.

The one we have does both - so I can use it to take in-car video or use it to take some cool pics too.
