I have a Drift HD, which is just out of the budget, BUT i picked up two refurb Drift HD170 Stealth cameras from Actioncameras.co.uk. They were £50 each and when one of them packed up, they quickly sent a replacement.
It has: 1080p at 120 degree field of view (30fps)
720p at 170 degree FOV (30fps)
and 720p -- " -- (60 fps)
The lens is rotatable, the batteries and mounts are interchangeable with my Drift HD (Which gives you a viable upgrade path without buying all new accessories). You can get a Mic adapter from ebay for about a fiver that will allow you to connect any 3.5mm jacked Microphone.
Also the extended life batteries are easy to come by and cheap (£15) because Drift use rebranded Fuji batteries so every man and his dog makes a copy.
I used the Stealths on my latest trip to Europe. ALL of the rear views and supplementary views are the Stealth cameras.

They have better colour saturation than the first camera I got which was basically a Polaroid XS100 in a different coloured shirt! Here's a video with that one:

As a starter though, it's not bad. But I really wanted the ability to have an external mic to capture my inane wafflings.
