The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20/B has a super steady shot – and is excellent for fast motion shots. It has tons of neat settings to allow you to catch the perfect shot. The macro and close up capability has amazing detail – and the zoom quality is quite incredible.

While you are learning the features of the camera, leave the setting on to give you detailed info on the little icons indicating what they do. Once you know all the features you want to use then you can turn it off.

You can edit peoples faces ON the camera to make it look like they were smiling! How cool is that? Another great feature is the ability to set priority face recognition so that it will focus on the person you want it to when you’re shooting pictures, that way the person you want is always in clear.

No wires, no separate recorder, no separate microphone, a tiny 4 ounces. Simply mount the ContourHD where you want to capture the action and go.

Whether it’s mounted it on the side of a skateboard, on the rear foot peg on your street bike or on your helmet as you snowboard, you’ll hardly notice its presence.

Even though the video is possibly not quite real HD, it’s still leagues (and I mean LEAGUES) ahead of anything that is out there for this amount of money (and most of the stuff that costs at least twice as much… ). If you’ve been disappointed in the quality of video of helmet cam tried until now, this device is worth every penny. Buy this camcorder as soon as you can!

The Samsung SMX-C10 Touch of Color Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom (Red) is ideal for those on the go, is light as a feather and tiny. It fits comfortably in the hand or easy to slip into a pocket. The angled lens takes a little getting used to, but really saves on wrist lock as it’s easy to pan and scan at a comfortable angle. Out of the box the battery is very fast to charge, only taking around 30 minutes for first charge.

The zoom is fantastic, even with recording action shots the focus is pretty hard to mess up. and the time delay recording and animated thumbnails are really fun to play with.
