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?

If you are a bit of a do-it-yourselfer, you can put together an underwater camera/above-water-recorder solution for less than $200.
Hey letsrace, I don't know much about camera equipment, but I do have a decent background in legos, pvc plumbing and electronics. Could you give a rough parts list for the camera and optics side of things?
I would love to put together something that could be dropped in the bottom of a lane during practice to collect lots of data for stroke analysis. It should be pretty easy to write something to edit out clear water, so an hour of practice turns into 5 minutes of swimming.
