The 5-megapixel CamOne Infinity supports 1080p video at 30fps and 720p at 60fps, but what's unique is that it has an interchangeable lens system. The mount isn't sophisticated — it's more like a screw than a camera mount. The Infinity also has a built-in 1.5-inch display, unlike the GoPro HD Hero2, and it has two microSD card slots, HDMI, a motion sensor, and an LED flash.

Description

The HD Hero2 has "professional level" light performance, according to GoPro. The updated action camcorder has new glass and a new 11-megapixel sensor, and is available in three different packages with an assortment of mounts -- outdoor, motorsports, and surf. The camera's body is shock and waterproof, and a Wi-Fi BacPac accessory will give it wireless capabilities.

The Freestyle HD is Swann's first foray into the wearable action video camera market. It can take 1080p video and JPEG stills, and it comes with an assortment of mounts. It's clear waterproof casing allows it to go up to 65 feet deep.

The Contour Roam is an HD camcorder meant for recording your outdoor adventures. With an aluminum build and waterproof construction (up to 1 meter), the Roam records HD video at the flick of a switch. A multi-directional mic is on board for audio, and a variety of mounts are offered that cover just about any situation. SD storage up to 32GB is supported.

Delkin's WingmanHD action video camera takes 1080p video and is waterproof down to 30 meters when used with a case that's included in the box. The camera features a 150 degree field of view and ships with an assortment of mounts.
