if your just looking for something to film yourself with while your tricking so that you can see what your doing wrong or what you can do better, your mobile cam is often enought. but if your panning on making samplers and submit them and such, you can use all cameras. but I recommend you get one that doesnt fall over when you put it on the ground, a table a bench or whatever. Because you might not always have a friend with you to film you.

That's what tripods are for.

Buku I suggest a MiniDV digital cam with a firewire port (aka IEEE 1394) if you plan on ever putting your videos on your computer. Obviously your PC needs a firewire port as well for that to work so keep that in mind. Not to mention you'd need the cable.

You'd find a better selection at places like Circuit City or Best Buy.

camcorders are expensive. if you expect to just walk into walmart and buy one you are an idiot. research online and find a camcorder that works for you and has a good value. prices won't vary much from store to store unless there is a sale. the budget/consumer camcorder market is designed to leave out one feature that you really want. it would probably only cost $20 or so to add it but they leave it out so you have to buy the more expensive one (hundreds of dollars more). If you want a good deal you WILL have to sacrifice a feature that you want.
