I've been looking around (ok, looking at ebay!) at helmet cameras and am mighty confused at the mountain of options, and desperately need advice.

The spec im looking at is 1080p resolution with an absolute top budget of £200 but would ideally like to spend £100

Thanks in advance folks!

GoPro all the way...

I have one and its brilliant.... my mate got one last week, off amazon, for £200, brand new with all the mounts.

I havent edited the footage from Fridays trackday at Silverstone, but its brilliant.

we record at 720p 60fps, as the 60fps feature is brilliant for slow motion...

the quality at 1080p is just unbelivable...

Might be worth asking Ro, he's always sporting one

My trusty POV1.5 is old technology now - it's 30fps DVD - but has several redeeming features: it's built like a tank, waterproof, runs all day continuously on 4xAA batteries and a 16Gb SD card. The main thing I'd miss with an all-in-one like the GoPro is that by having the camera head separate from the main body with the screen, you can check it's pointing in the right direction and recording OK.
