I use a Panasonic digicam that has a wide Leica lens (28mm equiv on wide side) and it shoots in 16:9 format. It's plenty wide even on the back glass right behind my head in the Elise.
I have a 7 year old Cannon camcorder with a wide angle lens that died. Cannon wants $145 + shipping to repair it. I thought I'd see what replacements were available before shipping it to CA.
I know a lot of folks have started using digital cameras but the angle of view is not wide enough to suit me. (Mine will show both B pillars from the mount I rigged on the roll bar.) A helmet cam might work, but I also want immediate replay. I want to see what I recorded right after my run without having to haul a laptop around.
Any serious suggestions are appreciated.

The video from Joe's point and shoot Panasonic looks great. Much better than the Nikon I have.

It possible weights several lbs instead of several ounces of the new ones!? I think Polaroid is coming out with a "shirt pocket camcorda".
