With the closure of Contour, another big name in the electronics gadgets arena enters into the Action Camera market. Garmin reveal their VIRB which is 1080p HD and fully rugged... "Garmin presents VIRB, the go-anywhere-endure-anything 1080p action camera with: built-in color ChromaTM display for setup and playback, 2000mAh battery (up to 3 hours of HD recording), and a 16 MP image sensor. And it's all rugged and rarin' to go, right out of the box."

Sony's the biggest name in electronics to get into the helmet cam market with an integrated version, whereas their previous versions were tethered bullet cams connected to a separate recorder. According to the Sony Blog, this will be a lightweight camera with the SteadyShot stabilisation feature which would be really good in capturing the action, the Exmor R CMOS image sensor, and ultra-wide angle Carl Zeiss Tessar Lens.
