Just want to have a dabble as I'll have free time and I've got a mac to edit films :)
Tips on what to get. No budget so what is the lowest spec are hero2s cool to start out with ?

Before you commit to buying a camera, maybe this will help you decide which is best: http://www.dropzone.com/news/Gear/Best_ ... _1027.html

Hero2s can produce great quality 720p video which is all you need for the web really. Chest mounting is one of the big advantages that the go-pro has. It really adds more involvement to amateur videos.

GoPro all the way.

Decent packages on ebay was well... though now it's coming to summer they may be a little more expensive...

You won't regret it.

I've had mine for a time now and find myself using it all the time... riding, around the house, work, holiday - everything.

I've whatever the new one is and a chesty - can't go wrong.

Now I want the hand strap thing as holding onto it on roller-coasters was a bit hard... I'd also like a boom/stick thing...
