  #1  Snowboarding Camera - Full HD ? Which one?  22/01/2010 @ 19:04:25
Hi guys, so im going to scotland on tuesday to go snowboarding.

I want to buy a nice camera so i can record myself going down the slopes etc

I have seen quite a few cameras and done a bit of research but id like your opinions.

Sanyo Xacti Full HD slim - This camera shoots full 1080p and is very slim and light so i think its awsome, has anyone used this for boarding yet?

Samsung U10 - This shoots full 1080p video as well and the videos look good when people use it in the city etc but never seen someone snowboard with it. what do u think.


Is there any cameras better than these ? The only requirement is that its NOT bulky and it MUST shoot 1080p video. Ty for the advice in advance.

Most i can pay is 190 GBP

hey there!

I use the sanyo xacti and I think its sick! If you can afford a little more, Id go for the water proof version of it for obvious reasons.
Its really easy to use and also takes really good stills (9mp) and its small enough to fit in your pocket, no need to ride with a bag!
If you are a mac user it syncs with iphoto and imports all the movies in quicktime, mega easy!!

Check out the GoPro HD Hero. Waterproof and stuff. Check out YouTube for more vids. There is one where its stuck to a surfboard which is cool
