Product Description
It is not wise to try to hold a camera whilst you are jumping out of a plane. Or skiing down a mountain. Or climbing the Grand Canyon. But, naturally, if you are doing those things you will, somehow, want to capture the moment. Action Camera is your answer. It is a tough, no-nonsense digital movie camera that attaches easily to a helmet, mast, harness, or handlebars. It has a 640x480 VGA CMOS sensor to record your incredible footage with incredible quality. You can then playback your adrenaline-fuelled antics on your PC or TV, or upload them to MySpace or YouTube. And if that is not enough, it also has an in-built SD card slot, so you can boost the existing 32MB of on-board memory up to 2GB. Ah yes, it's water, dirt, rain, snow and shock proof too. Now, be off with you. Haven't you got a cliff face to scale?

I was given this camera to record various antics on Bikes, the ones with engines. The camera is not too good in rapidly changing light conditions, such as along roads with hedges, it also does not like vibrations as it turns itself off. Its good points are that its rugged and water proof. However it is disappointing.

The product description on Amazon states "Ah yes, it's water, dirt, rain, snow and shock proof too."
The first line in the manual states "ATC-2K is not shock-proof. You should avoid dropping it"
So the Amazon description is misleading. Be warned.

I ordered the camera last week and got it this week. It was about 7-8 days waiting. Not bad considering I used super saver delivery and got it delivered for free.
I think the video quality is quite good - much better that my sony ericssons video quality. But I'm giving 4 stars because the microphone and its location isn't that good. The microphone is under that cap which protects the camera from water. So without it sound is loud enough but not clear - worse than in my sony ericsons case, but with the cap on it's so quiet - you can hardly hear anything. In the manual it shows the microphone is under the camera but it's not true - the microphone is somewhere on the back.
But I'm still very satisfied with video quality.

I just bought and tried out this camera with a 150X GB memory card (the largest and fastest card I could find with which this camera could be used)
I tried it on my mountain bike and carrying by hand. I could see nothing in reduced light at all. Although only dusk with very good light, when I played it back it looked I had been riding in complete darkness, I was surprised that I could make nothing out at all.. In daylight, bright sunshine, the resolution was such that I could not read a car number plate unless it was right up close to the lens. I could not read a street sign 20 feet away, just blurred lettering visible. It records clearly at 10 feet but appeared very pixelated and fuzzy.
I thought to return it immediately; bought at PurelyGadgets through Amazon it is only hours since delivery at time of writing, however, upon reading the detail of return guarantee it states it must be returned "unopened" so guess I am stuck with it..

I went on holiday during the Xmas break and it was snowing where I was. Obviously I came prepared with jacket, hat, gloves etc. I was a bit concerned about turning my ATC-2K cam on and off though. I didn't want to take my gloves off just to do that. Turned out fine though, I just listened for the beeping noise it makes for on and off. Also, the manual says to use a heat pouch it sells, or is planning on selling, in cold weather along with lithium batteries. At times the temp was below freezing and my cam worked fine without either! There was one time when it was a bit slow though so I took out the batts and held them in my hand for a minute to warm them up. It went back to its normal speed after that. It's a plug and play cam so no need to use a CD to install, just the USB cord. The video quality obviously isn't as good as a normal video camera but that's expected as it's designed for extreme sports. It's also a handy size, fits into my pocket easily and only needs 2 AA batts.
