Need help picking a camera to make videos

So im in the market for a camera/camcorder to shoot short movies and kind of make fishing compilations everytime i go out. Does not have to be pro level quality but nothing that gives off a grainy/blurry look.

Ive looked at point and shoot camera & hand held camcorders. something under $350 if possible.

thanks

Go pros are the way to go, res is great and the simplicity of the no hands is AWESOME and you can get in the water with it, I have used one a lot and love them.

They come with a fisheye lens but they sell a flat lens and I would recommend buying it.

I recently got a go pro for fishing only...or so I thought...

I use it for everything. riding scooter, snow boarding go cart racing just about any action sport. they are the best bang for the buck. The picture always amazes people when I show them the camera it came out of. the cam alone is smaller than those old school nokia phones but the picture is 1080p quality

I will check out the gopro. Its portability is a bonus as well as having it mounted on my center console with a sucker i saw it brings. thanks everyone

Contour roam is another great option
