Recommend a Helmet / bike camera sub £100

Im looking for a camera for less than £100. Can anyone recomend any ? A wide field of view would be good, decent memory card size etc. Thanks

You can get a Contour Roam for £120. That's where my money would be

Good time to buy a Gopro HD as the new one's just been announced... Should be in shops next month so there'll be loads of used ones and probably price drops on new ones (and competitors too, since from the looks of it, it's won camera top trumps)

Thanks for the replies, not really liking the size and shape of the Gopro although it looks to be a excellent camera. Im more after the contour Roam shape cameras. The contour seems to get good reviews too.

Yup - me too. Gonna get the Roam. 5Mpix, 170°lens, waterproof to 1m etc etc the only option it's missing (compared to the more expensive models) is 720p @ 60fps which would be cool but for £120 I think that's the one for me

Doesn't appear to come with a bike mount either - £24 if you want one !

I think are the cheapest for genuine UK model Go Pro Hero 2 currently - £199.95

Hero 3 'White' & 'Silver' have been in a week now, but 'Black' will be mid November.

Contour Roam 2 will be out soon too.

Also liking the look of the new Sony
