I'm looking for a video camera that can shoot HD and can have wide angled lenses on it without spending a fucking shitload. Any suggestions?

You don't want a hard drive based camera, just trust me on that one....
But if you really have you heart set on something like that I think the JVC Everio GZ series is something you should look into. But don't quote me on that, I don't know much about them.

Trust me once again on this one, a wide angle/fisheye will get played out if every shot in an edit is like that.

a hard drive will eventually crash and they freeze up in cold temps
