GoPro, Garmin or Other Action Cams ?

Have any of you guys tried an action cam?

I've decided to get one and I'm trying to select the best.

One of my fellow euro riders had a Garmin attached to his helmet on our ride through the Alps.  I was impressed how the Garmin would display a subwindow of a map with an icon for the rider and show where on the map the video was made as the video played back.

There's been a few comparative reviews published but others' experiences can be helpful.

i was just about to post the same question  ;D

Go-Pro seems to have a lock on the market by the number of users; however, I like the Garmin as it interfaces with other Garmin products such as the electronics on my boat and I would assume newer generation GPS units.  On the other hand, I like the shape of the Contour+2, seems a lot more aerodynamic as oppose to the Go-Pro.   Will be interesting to hear feedback from real users of all the devices.  The following link has a listing of probably all of the cameras on the market today with user reviews.  

Once I narrow it down to a few I always check AMAZON for best pricing plus they sell a heck of a lot of product so therefore has a lot of good end-user reviews.

I purchased a GoPro for Marion about 3 years ago.   She fooled around with it but, after a month or so it went in the drawer. I dug it out and played with it attached to my windshield.  The GoPro has it's uses but I seldom use it.  I have no problem with the pictures it takes or the videos. Right now it's in the drawer.  :BEER:

I just went on Amazon to check out the action cameras and apparently they are having a 'black Friday'  sale [Thanksgiving] on a lot of the action cams....
