What is a good video camera to film skateboarding with for under $500? Panasonic GS250?

I have come to the conclusion that mini-dv is the best format to capture action sports like skateboarding and I am looking for one of these camcorders now. On ebay, the Panasonic GS250 sells for approximately $225-$250 and it seems like a good camcorder for the price. It is 3ccd and supposed to be quite good quality for its price range. Do you think this would be a worthwhile purchase for my purposes of filming skateboarding?

Are there any other camcorders you would recommend in this price range? The main flaw of this camera is that it isn't fantastic in low light, however not terrible. I really like the quality of the 3ccd though. What else should I consider/research?

These camcorders would be great but too expensive: Canon GL2, Sony VX1000, VX2000, VX2100
