Best action cam

[heehee62]

What's the best action cam out right now? I was thinking either the go pro or the new sony action cam but I'm open to other ideas (Go pro black+ is too expensive but any other model would work). I think I have to buy the older case for the sony since the new one doesn't go to diving depths, but I think costwise, it's still cheaper (though maybe I'm wrong).

Thanks.

I have a Tachyon and it's perfect for me. It is tiny and only costs $99. It comes with a mount that attaches to my mask so I can pop it in and out. It holds 4 hours of 720p video on a 16Gb micro SD card. Captures continuous video or a picture every 2 seconds. You set it and forget it. It sees and captures everything I see and totally eliminates any task loading related to capturing video or pictures. I don't even have to remember to turn it on. With the lock switch set it automatically starts when I hit 13-15 feet. You do need a good wide angle light to bring out color at any depth but I think that goes for any camera. Here's a link:
