Opinions of Digital Video Camera

I know nothing about video cameras but have seen one that is very cheap and has made me think of buying it just for taking clips. Not professional just a record of what happened be it weddings etc. Will this camera do the job for me or do I need to up the spec? http://www.savastore.com/products/pr...&pid=2&tid=137

Any advice would be great.

Well, as the specs say, it's just a cheap cam for low quality recordings, mainly for internet.

I wouldn't get it, I'd recommend a real video camera, that captures in good quality and with good frame rate. 10frames per second is a joke.

So basically the picture recorded is going to be jerky? What sort of frame rate is the minimum?

Your TV plays back video at 25fps.

Yeah, "your" TV as in yours in the UK, if your sig is indicative of where you live .

In North America it's a different format.
