If at first you dont succeed, spend 6 hrs in casualty, then try again !!!

The gopro Hero3 wins hands down for a number of reasons. The Hero2's dont seem to go particularly cheap on Ebay.

Why dont we club together and make an order from the US of A

UK Cost £199
From US
2x white = £146 each
3x white = £139 each

UK Cost £280
From US
2x Silver = £208 each
3x Silver = £203 each
- The secret to mountain biking is pretty simple. The slower you go the more likely it is you’ll crash.
- No one gets hurt in the air
- There is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing.

There seems to be a new wave of DVR cameras coming on tot he market. With the New GoPro and also Sony and other major players getting in on the game it can only make these things better.

Now also what it will do it make the GoPro Hero and Hero 2 a lot cheaper second hand and this will only make the other cheaper as well as the GoPro seems to be the Market leader.

Now I do not need 1440p HD, that right twice as sharp as a 720p video. Nice to have but not sure it is really needed for what we do. So most 720p HD cameras will be enough for what I am after.

So what should I be looking out for in the New Year ebay sales ?

Your thoughts as the more I look the more I get confused. I know a screen would be nice, but just how often do you watch it on the small screen ? The new ones get over this by WiFi to your Phone (nice).
