      Which race camera to buy???

      Hey guys,

      I am in the market for a camera to video my racing activities (autocross, road racing, drag racing, etc.). I was wondering who has bought what and how happy (or not) they are with their purchases.

      What should I be looking for (resolution-wise, size-wise, mounting abilities, etc.)? I have looked at the "bullet" cameras, the "box" cameras, and the use of a standard "handheld" camera to film with... I like the idea of being able to use a suction-cup apparatus to attach the camera to the side, top, or windshield of the car... otherwise a roll-bar mount would be fine.

      I have seen resolution numbers in the 400-500 range... Is that as good as it gets or are there cameras out there better than this? I want to make sure whatever I film will have good enough resolution to look decent when it is converted to "youtube" or "photobucket"...

      I am planning on using a "data logging" system so I will eventually purchase a "datalink-type" software to merge the video with the cars performance data...

      Any direction, experience, or just opinions would be greatly appreciated!!
