Ok so here's the story. My 18th birthday is on july 27th and i originally had a $1200 budget for my present but then one day i was going to get two new tyres for my car, i ended up getting some sweet 17" rims :tongue: They were worth $1400 for wheels and tyres, and that day i gave my mum $400 so she can give me a $200 gift on my actual b-day.

Anyway, she said for my actual b-day gift i can pitch in $200 with hers, so that way i could get a $400 gift. I was going to get a GPS for my car seeing when i drive i have no fucking idea where I'm going but now i want a video camera. I was originally going to get a $1200 camera after all :eh:

So essentially I have a $400 budget for a video camera.

Oh yeah, and i know i'm spoilt little shit for getting all this haha :tongue:

Here's some cameras i found within my budget, which one would suit me best? I generally just want to make samplers and short films on it and put it on youtube, I'd prefer not to have a film camera but you may convince me otherwise.

Oh, ignore the $477 one, and remember this is only Aussie dollars and our dollar is weak!
