Replay XD1080

Wondering if any bandits have the Replay XD 1080 bike camera.

It's the small cylindrical one. Reviews seem to be pretty good, but I expect it is inferior to the Go Pro. It's around $280 - $310.

I wouldn't say its inferior to the GoPro. It wont be as good as the GoPro Black but equal to the white and close to the silver.
I had a look at this little camera and from the youtube footage i saw and reading the specs i was impressed.

If you want to buy a action camera and the budget is tight the replay 1080 would be a good choice or the Contour roam 2

Thanks Jim, I like the compact shape of the XD1080.
I'm interested in a camera but not sure how useful it would be - never owned one - so don't want to invest heaps at this stage.
What I know is that I see some amazing sights on my trips, beautiful light, views etc and think it would be great to capture them.
Will do a bit more investigation.

Cheers GG

If your looking for that alround sports camera ie bike, surf, kyaking etc theni recommend the gopro silver. The black is better but the silver is a good balance. It takes great video, standard photos, burst photos and time lapse
I went to thailand and hong kong last year and shot the whole thing on a gopro black and a iphone. I do professional video as in commercial and wedding video and i cannot fault the gopro as a great second camera actually i have 3 thats how much i like them.

Some of the others you could look at is of course the replay, sonys new model i think is called the aw100, drift hd ghost, contour roam, garmin, and of course the gopro

As a allrounder the gopro is the go. I hope that helps

Thanks a lot Jim.
Yes, from my research the GoPro seems the best - amazing what can be done with them.
It's all about commitment of $ to something that I haven't tried yet, though getting what you pay for probably applies.
