Sports video camera: Brand? Model?

[yetanotherlogin]

Hello

I'd like to buy one of those tiny video cameras that I can take on a bicycle etc.

Apparently, the major brands are Contour and Camsports: Are there other brands I should know about, and which would you recommend? I'm especially concerned about wind noise and being unable to shoot expect in broad daylight.

Thank you.

GoPro?

Thanks, I didn't know about GoPro.

When you say "sports camera", I think of a Nikon D3s, Nikon D4 or Canon 1D X.

What you're after is more often known as a "helmet cam".
So possibly change up your search terms.

Also look at the camera info on some of the better videos on Youtube.

Yes, that's really what I meant: A tiny, hand-held (head-held?) camcorder. Thanks for the correction.

Gopro, jvc, swann, and many more names. You may search helmet cam, action cam, bullet cam.
