Good Cheap Youtube only Camera?

[CodyLee1337]

Hey, I'm curious on a camera that would serve me the purpose of just uploading videos to youtube and what not. Preferably a cheap one, I Remember seeing something on Attack Of The Show A few months back about some like $150 camera just for like youtube was a small black one, any one know?

Thanks in advance

or you could go to any CVS pharmacy, buy a disposable video camera for 20 bux, hack it (there's sooo many guides to do this on the internet, plus it's easy) and use that "disposable" camera to upload junk.

Here's a guide (http://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/182/94/). Mind you, these aren't the only steps you can take. You can also get it to work with other cables, just have to do some research on your own. This will probably be your best bet if you're a cheapass.

edit: Here's a vid that shows the quality:

That's a good idea, but I want to get something that will last longer, but I might do that if I don't go get one soon

I just recently bought this nice little camera http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8495844&st=aiptek&lp=2&type=product&cp=1&id=1186004295515 for 99.99 and it works great for uploading videos onto youtube. It saves the video onto a SD card (that you will buy, I got a 2gb for 30 dollars) and it's a simple drag and drop onto your computer's harddrive once you plug it in. The quality is pretty good and you can find a small tripod for around 10 dollars. I recommend it for its practicality and its extremely useful interface.

PS Not all Bestbuys will sell them in the store, I got lucky and found one sold at a store. If not, you might have to order online.

It's not really a "disposable camera"

What happens usually is that you rent it out, take it back, and get a CD or a DVD with all your clips on it. That's how it works. That camera is about the same as that 150 USD one you wanna buy, only 130 dollars cheaper.

Shoot if its that re usable I think I might do that, buy that for now and maybe move onto that one your talking about Nicholai, thanks guys was very helpful!

[Andy Longcat]

yeah no shit it's re-usable haha.

They just call it a "disposable camera" to sucker people out of their money.

That works like any normal flash memory camcorder. Trust me, this would be your best option right now.
