Come on, there’s a little bit of show-off in all of us. Have you ever tried to take a picture while jumping out of an airplane, surf, snowboard or basically anything that requires your full attention yet you still want to capture the moment on photo or video? The Digital HERO Waterproof Sports Wrist Camera by Go Pro is the solution – it features a shockproof case, water-resistance up to 30 feet underwater and weighs less than 3oz.
I checked out the images and the videos captured by the Digital HERO; it looks pretty awesome. Price: $79.95.

The point of this camera is surfers and snowboarders can wear it with zero inconvenience while surfing and snowboarding. That is why we would want to wear it, dumbass! For non-metro-sexuals, function trumps style.
However, I bought one and it sucks ass. The camera functions are really lame, it has too quick of an auto shut off, and if you want to make movies, you have to press a bunch of buttons every time (rather than it staying in movie mode, like a “normal” camera). Basically, you have to act quickly to get a good surf photo, and this camera does not act quickly.
