Many of you have posted video of yourselves, in and (in the case of Mr. Thornton) out of the pool.
I would like to get a digital video camera. I don't want to spend a lot of money.
For those of you who have cameras, what do you have? What do you recommend? Are some better for filming swimming (in an indoor pool with so-so lighting) than others?

Anna Lea,
If you want to film underwater footage through a coach cam or other device, you need to get a camera that allows filming through an external device. It used to be that many of the video cameras had output jacks but it's hard to find one in the newer cameras. I have a great camera - small, great quality, easy to upload - but it doesn't have an output jack and can't record from a coachs cope or similar device. Since my older bulkier camera did this, I didn't realize that a newer one wouldn't. If you want to use it this way, check to see that it will record from another device.
