What is the best action video camera that can take pictures too?

best waterproof camera 2011 reviews image

V V

I want to take good quality video of action events - mounts on cars, helmets etc. so that i can sell it to people, also i want the same camera to be able to link to an instant photo printer.

What video camera could do this? I am from South Africa and my budget is +-R10,000 or $1,200 or less. If there is nothing at this range then what is the next most inexpensive one and at how much?

One more thing, it must be able to link up to a computer and store footage/pictures directly on the computer.
Thank you for that reply Vwbe, but I have looked at Drift and Go Pro but this is not good enough quality from the videos i saw when the videos are compared and shown at the same time on YouTube when viewed on even 720HD. It is not smooth enough for my purposes, as there is still a bit of jerkiness that makes it look home "videoey".

when you travel, you want to record some video on the way?
here is a helmet sports action camera is very suit for you,video 720P(1280x720P) and photo 2560Ã1920 JPG photographs:

If you want more better quality video, you can get a 1080P Car DVR, but it not easy to set on helmets:

Good video camera for outdoorsy person?

Megan P

I'm really looking for a good video camera that can handle the outdoors. Waterproof is a must. Also, optical zoom is a must. And, it must be able to fit into a coat pocket. I don't want to lug around a big camera. I'm hiking, so weight is an issue too.

The one camera that has caught my attention is the Nikon AW100. Has some nice features, but hasn't gotten the best reviews. However, most of that was geared towards interface or for the pictures, not video. I wouldn't mind a point n shoot with video capabilities, but I would use the video function more than the picture stuff. I use a DSLR for my pictures.

Anyway, just weighing my options here. Anybody know of any video cameras that would be good to fit here?

I wouldn't like anything more expensive than the AW100. That is as high as I'll go. I'm not even sure if the AW100 is worth its price tag.

Answer
The Panasonic TS3 is cheaper than the AW100. It's TIPA's best rugged camera for 2011. And the HD video is the best compared to all other waterproof cameras in the market now.

Used to be as expensive as the AW100. But it's around $270 now
