I'm just about otput my shoes and go get a Panasonic TZ40.. its dropped nearly a £100 in the last 4 weeks and you can control it via wireless with your mobile!

after a quick google search i found a wide array of prices!

some are about 250 witch is still quite a bit for somthing thats going to be taken out on runs fetting bug splattered and stone chipped.

idealy im after a budget brand with a lesser price tag if such a thing is acctualy out there

Although all the racers I know use Go Pro, my brother is a bit of a shutterbug, and recommended a Canon with a removable lens. I have opted for nothing.

not quite what you asked for but very cheap

Cam Link

I've just got one, good quality videos, no remote control but it does have a motion detection mode, so could use that to start the cam when you get moving? the handle bar mount just fits a mnr rollbar too with the rubber removed, no idea what size that makes it.

records .mov files which is a pain but apparentl can be changed with a text file.
apparently the waterproof case is pants going to get it in the sink later and see what happens

Just bought SWMBO'd a Sony WX80 - can be controlled from your mobile, also.
