Cheap, yes, but I've heard that they have lousy glass.
Check out the Nikon Super Zooms.
I've used them, and while not $5.00, you can get them pretty cheap.
I've gottne them for $15-45, and the glass is top notch, as you would expect from a Nikon.
Nice little easy to use camera, with NO bells and whistles, but does shoot at 24fps.
The meters are almost always dead on them though, but if you are using an external light meter, no problem...
Go take a look on Moviestuff's website, where the examples are showing some of my footage, shot in China. (Only one frame is up there I think).
That was shot on a Nikon Super Zoom.

all Nikon S8's shoot 24 fps and yes most of the early ones have flaked meters now.

matt,
cause their cheap..I'm using them as sort of crash cams...Ive seen them sellfor as little as $5.00 on e-bay..but of course now that I need them..there are none to be found..but they have a fixed lens and are easy to use for non film makers.
