wireless sport video camera image

I'm doing a project for my photo journalism class and I need to know what type of camera equipment the paparazzi use for it.
Answer
Wireless video cameras are also becoming a regular staple of the paparazzi arsenal. Paparazzi can either wear the cameras or plant them to capture celebrities unaware. The tiny cameras sport increasingly powerful transmitters that broadcast digital video to receivers. Paparazzi can sell the video footage or else pull good photo stills from it.

What's the best video camera for me?
Mark
I'd like to film myself interviewing people so I need a camera that is hands free. I don't have a lot of money to spend so that must be taken into consideration as well.
What I mean by "don't have a lot of money to spend" - I really don't know the prices and I don't mind used equipment. Is $200 too little for something basic?

Hi Mark, and welcome to Yahoo!Answers:
The phrase "don't have a lot of money to spend" is a relative term, and can cover a wide range of budgets, so you might be more specific as to what you wish to spend.
Since you're new on here, you should know that you can add more info to your Question by using the "Additional Details" link in the Action Bar menu (the Edit "pencil icon").
You might also re-think your interview approach, since "hands-free" and "film myself interviewing people" gives the impression you are more interested in putting yourself on camera, and not just the person you are talking to.
As far as hands-free camcorders, one of the best approaches would be a wearable camera (usually intended for sports videos) like the GoPro and Contour cameras. But they wouldn't necessarily put you into the picture, if that's what you're after.
Keep in mind that a lot of consumer camcorders come with a wireless remote, and have flippable LCD screens so you can check your shot & framing while standing on the lens-side. That will open up your shopping selection to less-rugged (and cheaper) models than the sports models. For that method, you can also buy an inexpensive tripod (since it doesn't need to move during the shot, a cheap one will do) to hold the camera for you during the interview.
And if you're just starting out, as I frequently suggest from personal experience, you can stretch your budget dollar by buying good used gear at a local camera store (or trusted online merchant), and even at local flea markets, thrift shops, and garage sales. Just be sure to "try before you buy".
hope this helps,
