No. No no no no NO. Please, if you get that camera, I might kill someone.
First, it's digital. And it's 50 bucks. You are going to get HORRIBLE quality.
Get a camera with MiniDV tapes if you want good quality. Also look for 3CCD. Don't go for those, "Digital is better because you don't need tapes! And look how small it is! And look how cheap! And check it out, it can be used as a clock, a radio, an mp3 player, and even a flashlight!!" Please. Don't.
I have a Panasonic PV-GS300. They don't sell then anymore, but that means they'll be cheaper on eBay! Also, look for the Panasonic PV-GS150, if you don't have enough money, if you have enough for a good one, PV-GS500, or even better, yet older and bigger, but who cares, PV-GS400.
That's all I need to say. When someone buys a digital 50 dollar video camera, I die a little inside.

EDIT: PV-GS150, and 300 should be under 500 on eBay. GS150 is under 500 NEW. They all have 3CCD chips which means way better color. Normal camera have 1 CCD and digital have... guess. ZERO. They have CMOS. Which is like a cheap webcam.
EDIT 2: I just actually looked at the camera Hotdog-cart was talking about. I am begging ON MY KNEES do not get that camera!!
If you're looking at this post and it was made before 2008, just ignore it.
