Also consider vio-pov.com:

- HD
- runs on AA or can plug into cig lighter
- edit on various 3rd party software
- ext mic input
- lotsa cam settings - wide angle, rate, etc.
- lotsa different mounts - helmet, tripod, etc
- bullet cam tethered to separate recorder stowed in backpack. Control remotely with wristband. If worn on helmet and you crash you only lose cam head, not the whole enchilada.
-recorder has 2" screen so you can view what you're recording and make sure cam is aimed so you don't get home and find it was pointed off into space and miss everything.

downside - more expensive, wind noise still problem, have to allow for movement to not bind cam cable if worn on helmet. HD looks nice but file transfer and editing slow. Need kick ass computer. But this is not a camera problem; you can take the chip out of the recorder and put it in your pc/laptop.
