I will be traveling on a shoot in a couple weeks and shooting with my HMC150 at 720p, The producer has requested a small camera for P.O.V. stuff. Some of this will be in the water, so an inexpensive housing would be good too. Nothing heavily submerged but it will be board sailing stuff etc.
Though I have never shot with one the small HV30 seemed like a good choice but I would like to stay tapeless and get something that will work with my HMC150.
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated for both items.
 
If you want true HD POV camera.... I'd say get an Iconix... but they're a little out of your price range I'm afraid. They film concerts with these and all!
 
Take a look at an Sony SR11 it's AVCHD with 60GB HDD and since the new Sonys are just about to come out you should be able get a good deal. As long as you give it light its a nice image.
 
Thanks to all for your suggestions. I am going to go with the Panasonic 3 chip HDC-SD9. And thanks Edweirdo for the info on Housings.
 
Don't get the sd9 it makes a crap image. Get the sd100k, full manual control plus it can use the same batteries as your 150, well small ones at least.
