Replying to Camera question

i know there are probably a billion threads about this.. but if anyone could help me out that would be great. im looking for a video camera for skiing that works well and is under 1000 dollars. i know the vx2100 and gl2 are prolly the best for mini dv, but im looking for something a little bit cheaper that will still work really well. I also want to be able to use fisheyes, etc. if anyone knows anything or where to look, please help me out. thanks.
