Best Budget Video Camera

Hey Guys,

I have been looking to buy a budget camcorder, somewhere in the range of £150-£230. I am going to be using it mainly to record my lifts in the gym so I can look back later and check my form as well as track my personal bests. I might upload some videos to youtube so a camera that looks pretty good on youtube would be nice.

I would like it to produce some decent quality 1080p hd video (or 720p, I know I can't expect the world with this budget) but I also don't want the camera to look like its been taken straight out of the hands of a talentless youtube video blogger.

This is a good looking camera:

And this is a talentless video blogger camera (try to avoid these):

Thanks for the help guys,

That is a bit above my budget, and I can't find it anywhere else cheaper. I am also not looking to take photographs, just video so if you could find a dedicated video camera that would be awesome.
