FOR BVE
Digital Camera - Price: From < $100
Camcorder - Price: From $100+
HP - Price: Varies
For videos, CCD is ranked number 1, followed by the DC.
For pictures, DC is ranked number 1, followed by either CCD or HP (If it captures high quality pics)Of course, the lower the price, the lower the quality of the pic/ vid.
FROM BVE
Hypercam / Fraps - Price: Freeware

My HP takes pictures at high quality if choose the higher resolution size. But no zoom if using the high resolution size. The picture below is taken with my HP. (Sony Ericsson K750i)

Get one with a memory card slot that makes it easy to remove the card. In case the staff tells you to delete it. =D

BTW, this handphone also have flashlight. If use in camera, it acts like the "flash" used in DCs. Very cool.

Mine just open cover, batteries then come out (not using the camera battery, only can use AA batteries. Then press the memory card. Can already. Just need to be fast.
