Waterproof Camera Prices Have Tumbled

[Mr. NiceGuy]

If you want to wait a couple of weeks for delivery, you can order them on Ebay direct from Shenzhen cheaper.

Bidding starts at $0.99, free shipping

EDIT: this one is a "Buy It Now" for 99 cents, free shipping. LOL .... Wat?

When I researched these last year I read lots of reviews and settled on the Xiaomi Yi camera as the best at the time. They basically are one step behind go pro as far as chipset and features. There is a Yi app and even a remote available. I've had no problems with it so far. Just don't buy any aftermarket accessories like a case or mounts, they break. Buy only Yi accessories. I see they have a 4k model out now. Another top rated camera was the SJ4000 ones. I would suggest not wasting your money on the $50 cameras and do a little comparison research.

I record all my videos on the Yi. Video quality is acceptable, but my big gripe is the ridiculous amount of static noise I get while recording. I partially resolved that by taping an area of the camera where the static transmits. As far as the camera goes it's the best bang for your buck. $65 for 1080p? No complaints here.
