I am going skiing in Andorra in February and I am looking for a compact, cheap video camera that would be suitable for on piste shooting as well as more general use. I am not interested in 'helmet-cam' type products. The closest thing i have found to what I am looking for is the Flip UltraHD, however this has severe judering when you move and is probably not going to work when skiing. Any advice would be much appreciated. Please remember that I have a 'Student budget' of £150 or maybe just a bit over, definately less than £200. Thank you for any help you can give! The most important thing is image stabilisation, ability to deal with glare and low light levels, and clear crisp colours. in that order. I just re-read my post, and i don't think that i put enough emphasis on the importance of stability settings, as primarily this camera will be for a ski trip. Anybody got any other suggestions given this?

Take a look on QVC.com under electronics. I just purchased one(Panasonic) that has a great image stabilization, but it was $299. Good luck.

I would suggest Panasonic SDR-S15 Flash Memory Camcorder Ultra Compact Size Intelligent Auto Mode 0.6 sec Quick Start YouTube Uploading Function http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001QXDLFG?ie=UTF8&tag=computer09-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B001QXDLFG but if you really want under $150 Flip Video Ultra High Definition Camcorder is a good choice. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0029U29AI?ie=UTF8&tag=computer09-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B0029U29AI
