Beginers drone

Hi everyone you probably been asked this a thousand times.

I'm looking to buy a Drone Quadcopter.

Budget wise id say up to £150. looking for one with good HD video camera built in. 

Iv seen a few reviews on 

Syma X5c -1,  Hubsan, Micro Drone 2.0 iv also looked at the Parrot Ar drone 2.0

Not sure really which would be best.

I have never flown one of them before so i will be a complete beginner.

However i am a very quick learner and can put my hands to most things .

What do i want it for. mainly camera footage . I love taking photos of marine life. 

also i do a lot of fishing from a kayak theres a sunken ship not far of the beach where we go and its hard to see it from a kayak. so from a beach in the air would be a great advantage .

also to play around with .

so id love your feedback 

thanks in advance

      I have not flown the hubsan, but from what I hear it is one of the better ones to learn on. However, the "HD" cams on a lot of them kind of suck, but again, they are a good inexpensive learning tool. Carl don't feel neglected, I'm new to rc and a ton of rc groups and sites you have to kind of make yourself known before anyone will answer. Big thing is you want one with a real controller, not one controlled via smart phone, that is of course if you really want to get into the hobby.

      On another note, I kayak too, but I just can't get myself to launch and land my quads from my boat, heck I don't even like to fly too far away yet as I only fly line of sight.
