I've decided to make a movie.....recommend me a video camera

[RacerMDR]

My plan is to do a movie a bit like one of those adventure type videos you see when someone climbs Kilamanjaro or rows the atlantic etc.......

I am a total amateur........

I figure i'm going to need several cameras really for the different things i'm going to be doing. I already have a decent compact (weatherproof, underwater, freezing temps etc) for quick shots etc

I also have a Hero Cam with various mounts for bolting in place for action footage etc.

I'd like something else - a bit more handheld for the rest of the footage i'm going to want to take etc

Any recommendations?

Unless you're looking at spending £5k+ these two cameras may be two of the best options:
