Just thought I'd share my discovery of an even cheaper way to shoot high-def in-car video... I picked up an RCA EZ2000 for $75, which can do up to 720p, works great, and is beautifully simple.

Just insert a microSD card and go shoot your video. There's a little wobble in my video because I just mounted it with rubber bands around the passenger headrest, but that's easily fixable and it's a minor issue anyway. Like most, wind noise is an issue, but there are ways to deal with that. The only thing it lacks, IMO, is a tripod mounting point, but at least it's small and easy to strap to something in the car.

looks just as good as my flip that cost 3x more. what did you use to superimpose the data? what data collection is this? thanks.

Thanks. The data comes from my Traqmate system and is overlaid onto the video with RaceRender.

Here is another option from Kodak that uses SD & SDHC cards and has a tripod mount for $42 as a refurb product. Has 720p at 30 & 60 fps along with VGA resolution
