Man that’s quite an answer above me! Can’t really compete with that!
However I will add that I’ve never heard of a camera that has fisheye as standard, you’ll have to buy the lens seperately if it isn’t bundled already.
You can easily spend $1000 on a good lens, but I’ve found the cheap, clip on fisheyes you can find on ebay are very good on a budget.

The really long answer is SPAM! Ok this is coming from a longtime filmer with 25 videos on youtube and a 4.5 star average video rating. For a budget, i would go with a JVC everio, which can have a 30 gig hard drive to store all you vids (like 8 hours of hi-def video) and threads for a fisheye. a fisheye can be bought on amazon for about 50 dollars. you probably will need a step up ring for your camera, which is about $5. this is so you can adapt the fisheye to fit your camera. Once you get your camera, use sony vegas or adobe after efffects which you can get for free (search on youtube). hope i helped
