extreme sports camera?

Charles

I'm really into extreme sport such as rock climbing and snowboarding. I'm looking a camera capturing my achievements of extreme sports. Also what features should i be looking for? Thanks :)

Answer
Definitely go with the GoPro HD Helmet Hero, its an absolutely great camera. I've used it and i loved it. Its basically for capturing videos, if thats what you want than there is no doubt this would be your best bet. It captures professional-grade full HD video up to 1080p, 60 frames per second option in 720p and WVGA resolutions provides liquid smooth slow motion playback, videos can be easily edited with iMovie or Windows Movie Maker, industryâs widest angle (170º) and sharpest lens captures more of the scene and includes easy to apply mounts for attaching camera to virtually all helmets.

This is the best price i could find for it:
