Don't buy
If you want to buy a video camera and use it to tape some bike rides, do NOT get a camera that uses a hard drive.
Apparently the vibration will keep it from recording.
I bought a JVC Evirio HD camera and found out the hard way it won't do it. It does have a slot for a microSDHC for up to 8 gigs.
I emailed JVC about my issue, and they said to use the msd card. Yeah, now I gotta go buy one of those.
If I knew then, what I know now....

sometimes when used with vibration.
Sorry...but after riding the dragon...you only want to watch it about ONCE...
not exactly the same on video.

Maybe you can sell the camera to a Goldwinger. 
Hard Drives and vibration (think Harley) have always been a no no.

heh good point cHarley, we have a one track mind with that huh?
Another point is the ipod's with hard drives are a no-no. Mine went bad and when asked apple, they said the vibrations screws it up. Not too many ipods have HD anymore but just sayin. Now they have the memory, kinda like what SP uses in his camera, the lil tiny cards that are removeable.
I' rambling, i'll shut up now
