    Stuck between 2 cameras!!

    Hi,
    I am stuck on which camera to buy. :mad2:

    I am looking at either the
    Sanyo xacti VPC-CG65 or
    Canon MD101

    It will mainly be used for taking sport and action shots. I mountanibike so it will be high speed action as we do the more extreme mtb riding which is Downhill (DH) (basically get down a hill as fast as possibble avoiding trees rocks people animals etc . . .)

    Therefore i dont want a really bulky heavy camera to take around in my bag. I would like it to be DVD quality for umm urr DVD's but also Youtube quality, youtube always downgrades and piece of video so the two cameras above i have checked out and they produce some good quality shooting.

    You guys are the experts ( i hope ) so i would appreciate it if you could advise me which one to go for and also if you have any other sugestions for the same price range.

    Oh, also i would like it to be possible to work on a tripod and have A/V input or A/V output. Im not sure which one but it allows you to record off in this case a wired head cam. The headcam needs a recording device which would be the camera so if you know what im talking about then you will know which one i am looking for haha.

    Wooo i wrote quite a bit sorry

    ok no problem, its to be used for fast action and sport mainly, ive been told that sd memory cards arent as good for capturing this sort of action, BUT that Sd camera is small and compact so easy to carry around, usually mtbing in remote areas so carrying a huge camera just isnt really pracitcal.
