Do any of you use the polaroid action cameras?
They seem to be a decently priced cam, With specs that arent bad

"adjustable frame rate at 720p" uhhhh

It's a bit like the JVC Adixxion. You'd think it would be a good camera from a major company, but I've never seen anyone use it. Maybe they're all too late to the party.

Think so too. Gopro contour and drift have really stolen the market.

Even like the virb, really good cam, no one uses it

AFAIK they're no good for vlogging since none of those have external microphone input.

Looks like you're right.

the xs20 has a round hole on th back, but its probably video/audio out

i was thinking of using something like that for a secondary camera, like on the belly pan or handlebars etc.

I just saw this, I'd never buy something that has a warranty sticker. It means that the manufacturer doesn't trust the user.
Big name brands never used anything like that (Philips, Samsung, Sony, LG....).

you trust users?

Definitely not in IT are you
