You can get low end 3CCD cams for about 700, check J and R muscic work or do some reseach online, and if you cant aford that i recomend a Canon ZR model or something similar (thats what i used before i got my Gl2)

im pretty sure you can hook up a helmet cam to every dv cam on the market right now. Yes windows movie maker is compatible. you connect ur cam to the cpu with a fire wire cabla that is invluded. if you dont have a fire wire output, buy a firewire card.

Fial Cut pro HD is the best editing program available.

adobe premeire is the best for pc

ok thanks so now im lookin at the samsung scx105l. It comes with a helmetcam, 512mb internal memory, its small, $500 bucks. does anyone have this camera? If so, what do you think? It looks like the best option for me so far, but if it sucks, then well...

You won't find a camera that captures good night footage unless you are dropping more than $1500.
