All,

I would like to make my own "Real Life Videos" for Tacx indoor cycling
trainers (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmQ3NXw9-BE). This involves
filming the road ahead from a car (or motorcycle) as you drive (usually up a
big mountain.

The requirements are-
High Quality
Good Stabilizer (I assume)
Good image quality when the camera is in motion.
What HD camcorder would you recommend for this application? Is there a
particular type or configuration of image sensor that is better for this
type of usage?

I will probably not be doing a whole lot of image processing, other than
cutting and pasting.
I'm not partial to any particular type of storage medium, although I would
like to be able to film at least an hour without changing dvd/memory/tape.

Don't want to spend more than about £850/?1000/$1400, but would like to
spend less

Thanks

At the risk of starting a flame war, I'd suggest that a CCD sensor (or
three) would be far better for your particular application than a CMOS
sensor. However, that puts the price up.
