Camcorders
So, to those that vlog their rides, what do you use? More importantly, anyone have experience with this? http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/produ...2dbaede75den02
I have yet to read some reviews, but I figured it'd post this up first. I'm not particularly interested in the GoPro ones. It'd probably suck to hold if I ever want to use it off-bike, like at a party or something. The lady at the store says the Playsport could only last me 30min. That'd suck imo. I don't really need a high-quality one. Just something that's not uneasy on the eyes. I just want something to capture some nice rides, and more importantly, as some sort of insurance. I wouldn't mind proof that I wasn't speeding if someone ever decides to change into my lane and hit me lol |

I'm picking up an 808 #11 keycam. It records 720p HD and can run for about 45minutes on a charge. I'm buying it because it can fit inside my helmet, and weighs about 15g. I'll give you a review when it comes in, but it'll probably take another week or two since it's from Hong Kong. I also picked up a kodak playsport fisheye (180 degree) lens to use with it.
There are vids on youtube if you want to see the video quality just look for "808 HD" or "808 #11" |

I use the water proof Xacti. Battery latest an hour. Does video and photos.
http://sanyo.com/xacti/english/ I'm considering getting the GoPro. Battery life is close to 2hr since it doesn't have an LCD screen to suck the power. |
