mine is OK. it's kind of goofy looking tho. (yeah I care) so lately I use it on my bars looking forward. but with it pointed backwards at overtaking traffic I think the drivers get the idea pretty quick they are no longer anonymous!
Polaroid XS100 Extreme Edition HD 1080p 16MP Waterproof Sports Action Video Camera With Full Mounting Kit Included

what I like
- waterproof, no additional housing required
- easily unclips so I can do some hand holding stuff then clip it back on to continue
- compact design is useful in other settings like on my car dash, horseback riding, fits in a pocket, or hanging from a kite (yes really)
- great battery life
- nice assortment of still picture settings
- native (.MOV) file format is MAC compatible so it's easy to edit clips on my MAC
what I don't like
- takes a continuous clip, so if I want a series of shorter clips I have to hit the switch to stop & start while riding
- native (.MOV) file format is MAC compatible which means I can watch videos on my Windows computers but I can't hear the audio until I upload them to youtube (or of course watch on my MAC) I'm on my Windows computers more so I don't edit them
- not great in low light
