While I do not have one yet, it definitely seems like the thing to buy if you want something over budget cams and get best bang for your buck. Its $200 or $270 with wi-fi. If you google it, you will get a ton of reviews.

Sony-HDR-AS10-ACTION-CAMERA-EXMOR-R-HELMET-CAM Buy it now on eBay for $129...

The sony needs to be put in a seperate case (a minus) to make it waterproof. It has interchangable lenses (a big plus) but not all lenses will fit in the accessory case (a minus). It's a little bigger than the coleman. I couldn't capture the specs on the sony (over a page but they are on the link.

The Coleman is standalone water proof (big plus) and seems to have good specs but doesn't have the Ziess Lens (minus). And of course Coleman is a Big Name camera maker...
