We had a look at the Hamper King website today to see what they have available for delivery before Christmas 2014.

Heather spotted this which she ordered for about $3.50 a week https://www.hamperking.com.au/hampers/electronics/digital-video-camera/hd-sports-camera/25/1

Also this Go Pro for $600 (bit rich for us) https://www.hamperking.com.au/hampers/electronics/digital-video-camera/gopro-hd-hero-action-camera/25/1

I bought a Swann Freestyle for the missus off ebay for $149. The specs are as good as the GoPro2 that I have and it comes with a remote control and a heap of mounts as well as that it has a removable battery so a charged spare can be carried, it has a removeable 1.5inch screen that allows you to review video from the camera as well as having a mini HDMI port so video can be viewed directly on a TV.
I haven't had much of a chance to play with it yet but it seems pretty good.

Oops, was actually $175 but still cheap compared to other brands.

They are down to $150 now. How do you find it? Is the resolution and sound good on a tv or monitor? How long is battery life and can you plug in to 12v on bike? How long does 32GB micro SD give you?
Cheers in advance.

OK so I purchased a Polaroid XS100 http://polaroidaction.com/xs100.html in April 2013 for $200 to my door from Amazon.
Since then they released an upgrade with a Bluetooth connection to you phone for about $40 extra.
This camera is basically a generic camera made in China and badged for a number of retailers eg Ion, Polaroid and Action, possibly the innards of the Contour+ as well.

Pros
Cheap - especially when compared to the GoPro
Compact  - especially when compared to most others
Excellent Video, close to, if not as good as the base GoPro
Slimline - idea for helmet mounting - no drag
Record time - approx 3 1/2 when new
Probably just me but Colour as well - White
Waterproof to 3 meters - Tested and it is - takes excellent underwater videos
No extra housing required
Heaps of mounts for any application

Cons
Charge and use - no charging whilst recording (I know most cameras are like that)
No ability to turn sound off
Camera creates a standard 1080 file and a 460 file at the same time (for posting on YouTube) I my opinion this is a complete waste of time and disk space
Battery is not replaceable (Biggest Con)

Would I buy one again - NO
Why - well the battery has had it and the camera doesn't do what I want it to do and how I want it to do it.
You can see the remainder of this thread in the following Post


Cheers,
A.
