(this seems the better one to me been waterproof)

(only prob i can see with this one, is it says its weatherproof but it is cheaper)

what do ya reckon? what would you recommend?
also what angle of view lense would you go for, 130,93 or 78 degrees(angle of view)

Is that angle or focal length ?
I suspect it is as you said, angle..
The wider the angle the faster things seem, but the bigger the gaps seem.. So for instance a track day cam might be best with wide angle, while road cam something with a little less panorama ( longer focal length )

Hate to say this, although may save your dosh..

but I think you are looking at the wrong things here. These are for CCTV and survellance. They are DC powered. What you want are Helmet Cameras.

I know this as I have searched in the past.................

right website, wrong page!!!

You see they are more expensive, you must make sure you have a camera with an AV-IN socket, if not forget it. I ran into this problem with my previous digi cam, so bought another one with this facility. ONly thing now is I cannot afford the helmet cam!!!!

These other two are USA sites

Which is quite a good reason to go with the other ones which do exactly the same job !

Now this is a very worthwhile issue and one that you really should address b4 buying any camera. Also, remember the UK uses a PAL system with the sound subcarrier set at 6 megs ( from memory ) which is EURO I ), so if you buy a recorder from across the waters be sure it is compatible
