I believe this is the same as the Eagle Eye and no doubt there are other incarnations. RigidMount's advice is ...
DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA!!!

For the reasons why, take a read here and for more general advice on video cameras for cycling take a read here.

On the video camera front I am using two (commuting but not touring), a Contour HD 1080P which is now my rear camera and a Jumbo HD808 #11 which is my front camera (cost about $55 on eBay).


There is a good discussion thread on video cameras at the Australian Cycling Forums. Best to go to the last few pages for the latest comments/experiences.

For a still camera I am looking to upgrade to a Panasonic Lumic DMC-LX5 or a Canon PowerShot S100.

Regards
Andrew
