What do you think? Answer below!

I am hoping to make a low budget ski movie this year. Last year I made one using a family camcorder, and was unsatisfied with the camera and the quality of the clips it produced. I would like to use a professional camera this year, while keeping it as cheap as possible. I need the camera to be durable, (works in low temperatures) and fairly easy to operate. It would be nice if it had a handle on top, to make action shots less shaky. I don’t care, tape or memory card, as long as it has the capability to record an hour or more of footage at a time. HD is nice, but if the camera is nice enough, it is not absolutely essential. Manual focus in mandatory (obviously) and other special effects like fish eye are great. Any recommendations, or advice about how to go about buying such a camera?
