Tips And Tricks: Which camcorder should I buy?

Hi,I did the following:

Which camcorder should I buy?I'm stuck between three camcorders.

What I plan on using the camcorder for most is filming some skateboarding.
(crouching down on a skateboard, following and aiming the camera forwards toward the subject(another skateboarder in front of the filmer).)
I will be putting things in slow motion, so a higher fps is definitely a plus.
The pros and cons are going by my opinions and how I will be using the camera.

1. Vivitar DVR 840HD HD camcorder
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3572892
Pros: 1080x720p, large screen, 8.1MP still shots(camera mode)
Cons: higher price, 5X optical zoom/4X digital zoom, 30fps

2. Kodak Zi6 Digital HD camcorder
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10928400#Product+Reviews
Pros: 60fps, cheap price, light.
Cons: Only 720p, would be hard to have a steady shot due to it's shape and size, 3MP still shots

3. Sony Webbie HD camcorder
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olstemplatemapper.jsp?id=1218074325611&type=product
Pros: 1440x1080p, being a Sony product, 5X optical zoom/10X digital zoom, semi-cheap price.
Cons: no hand strap, 5MP still shots, I don't know the fps
*if the Sony is 60fps, then I'm sold. That would be the one for me.

Thanks in advance, Zach.
