I need to make a few videos for work.  Need a cheap camcorder.  
Haven't liked at them in years.  Don't need high quality

I've got a Canon Vixia.  $200.  Pretty happy with it so far.  Just family movies at this point.

No smartphone? Quality would be as good if not better with the current apps.

Besides the camera app?   Is there something better?  
I have an iPhone no memory card.

That's a good idea.  I'd also suggest Craigslist, and/or a thrift shop.  Seem to be tons of them in there these days.  I think I have a JVC palm corder thingy.  Records to onboard hard drive and mini usb out (I think).  It's a good unit, so I'd vote for a JVC.

When you say for work is this for amateur porn that you do or do not intend to try and sell?

Quality of the camcorder makes a difference.

You should be able to download the videos to iCloud or a free service as Flickr then you can transfer them to a thumbdrive or other device. Find a free editing service.
Essentially you would be doing the same with a camcorder - downloading from storage, editing, reloading.

I agree with the above, the iPhone is currently as good or better than any camcorder you can find under $250.
