Any recommendations of a helmet cam that is good in dark or low light conditions - ie commuting use in winter.

Any ones to definitely avoid?

    Contour Roam2 has auto white balance which means you can ride to work in daylight then ride home at night without having to hook up the camera to the PC to change the white balance like the older Contour cameras.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Here's my GoPro 3 Black Ed in a range of poor light conditions

    It does a pretty good job in low light (the beginning) - at the end is pitch black where it's less effective.

    Lights are AyUps supplemented by a 120lumen head light

    The current best low light camera is by far the Sony.
