Forget about all the fancy Go-Pros and the like.

Save yerself over 200 quid and go check out the local boot sale......Where you can get a decent camera for a tenner!

I really wouldn't bother with the cheap £15 specials, mine was shite, so I threw it done the road in disgust...(the camera that is)

I did the same with my cheap one and my gopro but that wasn't intentional

There is a really nice one on a mountain in Austria, it fell off my helmet (careful !) when i was skiing run 17 St Anton near the bottom.

I have one of these and it is even better than what I thought I would be
when you pause it on a ride out you can see the detail in the leaves on the bushes


and be carful these are that good they are even copying these

There are original SJ4000 cams and loads of copies on ebay, some of these cams have not the performance you would expect as the software is different(cheaper).
Plenty of the sellers offer a SJ4000 cam but it's not, it only looks like it, somewhere in the bottom lines they mention it is a copy
I had two "copy" cams , one is really excellent , the other one is poor on quality.
Just check carefully the specs of the cams as there is a difference in resolutions they offer and the type of files it produces
( .mov and .avi ) The one i got performing superb produces the .mov file , the other one is producing .avi files

going to check my files now
but I took techmoans advise and paid £70 from amazon and mine does say sjcam in the right hand bottom corner not just sj4000
like he said you can have a c5 Citroen or a three wheeled electric bike but both called c5

The other important thing is to use a high speed memory card, i use the samsung MICRO SDHC EVO 32GB MICRO SD UHS-1 Class 10 MEMORY CARD
but there are many other similar brands available
Low class cards will effect the quality of video's as well.

I plan to buy Dazzne P2 camera

Don't know that cam
In the specs it says 130 degree angle lens , the original SJcam has a 170 degree angle lens , some copies have a 140 degree angle lens.

Techmoan.com has a review on this one as well as many others
