Question

If you could pick any of these cameras? (action cam q)

Oct 1, 2013 2:39PM PDT

So my company I work for has a reward site in which points we earn over time for numerous things can be redeemed. So looking at an action camera (running/ outdoors and stuff) and the site has a few I can choose from.

Really new to the action camera world so wanted some more knowledgeable opinions.

Either the;

* Sony HDRAS15B
* Samsung HMX-W300
* JVC ADIXXION GCXA1BUS Action Cam
* GOPRO HD HERO3 Camcorder White Edition

Site also has a few others that aren't familiar with like a
VEHO Muvi line of small cameras, few GE ones but those seem pretty simple.

Really looking for a rugged/ water proof (case is fine) rugged camcorder that can also take decent photos for small little things. mainly would be using this for runs so batt life thats decent would be nice.

Really appreciate the help, thanks again.

* PIVOTHEAD DURANGO - CHAMELEON
* PIVOTHEAD RECON - BLACK JET
* PIVOTHEAD MOAB - IGUANA
* PIVOTHEAD DURANGO - GLACIER BLUE
* PIVOTHEAD DURANGO- SMOKE

No idea on quality doing research now
