kidwoo: What gives? Any reasonably priced helmet cam offerings out there that don't suffer from CMOS rolling shutter maladies? Are SD CCD bullet-cams the only thing going, and are they even still viable at all?
I did find one setup that got good reviews even from people sensitive to the rolling shutter effect, the V.I.O. POV.HD. It looks absolutely sweet, but simply isn't going to happen for me at its $600 price point

Background: I tried a ContourHD 1080 this past month. Worked ok in the car or with little motion in general. Not impressed with detail in general but definitely unimpressed with the quality once the mount starts shaking a little bit (or a lot, as on my motorcycle at low revs). I've been spoiled by still image quality from real cameras and real glass, and now everything looks like crap in comparison.
