Window/Dash mounted cam?

Not sure if anyone would know, but I'm looking for a decent (not stupidly expensive) camera for recording our cruises.

Yes, I could get an HD camera from Future shop or Best buy, but then I would have to hold it.

Ideally the camera would come with some sort of suction cup mount.
Is there any store that would possibly carry something like this?

Get the HERO cam. Perfect for what you want it for.
I think they are around $350.

I've played with something similar to the GoPro one. It wasn't HD, and was around $200. I forgot who the supplier was again.

I'll dig around and see if I can find anything.

Vision Tech BOYO VTR101. Has built in 2gb for a dash cam all in one, does sick features.
It will record and loop over automatically unless you hit a quick save feature. Also has built in G Analyzer so if upon impact of an accident, it will record and save and not allow to loop over recordings.

Also when you sync it with your computer, it will not only show the image but also google map with correlation of where you were as it was recording the image.

and reasonably price! =D

See Soundworks or Soundsgood for more information!
