Can anyone recommend a decently priced good quality,waterproof,decent battery life and able to store 2hr plus?
I don't mind buying second hand either (keeps the cost low) I'd like my wife to use it whilst out "not hunting" on her horse this autum and winter.

GoPro is too expensive,even for second hand one.

Not sure of your budget but there is a new GoPro out at £99.

Since you just mentioned GoPro and not a specific model I assumed you were interested in manufacturers in order to check out their range.

I see, mistake on my side, not bothered about brands just something that'll do the job at a fair price.

The Sony AS30 is about £170 on Amazon, it should be possible to get the earlier AS10/AS15 cheaper.
Personally the AS100 is worth the extra, about £230 on Amazon.
All of them can take big memory cards and the battery lasts over two hours.
They all are good in low light conditions.

What is your budget?

 

[andrew_rc46]

£50/60

For the low-end of your budget, I've been using a Veho VCC-003 Muvi Micro DV Camcorder which serves me well. Currently ons ale for £29.99. I've never had an issues with it.

The main thing with any camera it must be able to see a number plate clearly and have good audio without that the camera is useless, I haven't got one as yet, but have been looking at the Roadhawk Ride they are available at Halfords (don't be put off by that)

Sj4000 for that budget range. You won't get anything better

Your figures just don't add up. If you want 2hrs run time the memory card will cost you about £20 so it doesn't leave much for the camera. Maybe the one MCRCylist recommends.
