Small decent quality camera

[samwilki]

Hi, I am doing flying lessons and I want to maybe log them, so I wondered if there was some kind of camera that can record at a decent quality for upto an hour onto some kind of storage device then I can later put it onto my computer and watch them back, would prefer if it had sound aswell.

Needs to be compact enough to maybe strap onto my shoulder.

Flip Mino. They range from $100-$250 for the HD ones. They can record around 60-120 minutes of high-quality video footage. As far as I can tell, for the price, features, etc, you won't find a better portable camera.

I don't need HD, just a good enough quality so I can make stuff out.

You could try your luck with one of these:

Here's one that claims to be a #3 and has 7-10 days shipping:

Here's video samples of various ones (there's like 8 versions now, some suck more than others, but the microSD based ones usually have decent video):

The best version is called a #3, and is sorta hard to find. If you order from a seller from China you can save a couple bucks, but don't expect it till about a month from your order date. Even if you end up with a crappy one, they're pretty damn cheap. Expect the price to be around $7-20.

They have an SD version.
