Sony HeadCam
yeah saw that on Gizmodo. Looks pretty interesting, although the resolution and frame rates are only on par with a GoPro HD 2. It’s only 85g but that’s without the case I think.
Butt Ugly IMO
looks alright to me….how wide is the lens?
Being a sony it will require some stupid non standard sony only accessory 
details here.
All that fun is going to be packaged in, locally, with Australia set to get the Action Cam in a bundle that will set you back $399. The bundle is set to include:
• Sony Action Cam (with Wi-Fi)
• Waterproof housing
• 2 x NPBX1 batteries (good for 280 minutes record time)
• Battery charger
• 4GB microSD card
• Quick release buckle
• Flat and Adhesive mounts
• Universal mount adaptor.It’s going to be available to purchase from Sony’s online store, authorised resellers and Sony Centres around the country from 1 October.
I wonder if the lens rotates so it can film while mounted on its side.

Be careful cords, you’ll wake the sleeping bear! 
Goes without saying I’m not a big fan of either of those brands.

Yeah this is a really handy feature on the drift although it can backfire.
I took some good footage with mates riding the trees on interceptor last weekend but forgot to rotate the lens. This resulted in an interesting very TALL aspect ratio.
Can’t see any mention of a remote for the sony, that’s a pity as it’s an incredibly useful feature.
looks like no dedicated remote, but can drive through smartphone app. They are claiming good low-light performance and image stabilisation. Could be interesting.
It’s the image stabiliser and weight that are the standouts for me.
cant see that it has a lcd for playback though? like spaz has said, weight and image stabiliser are a definite +

actually I think the weight is about the same as a gopro 2.
GP2 with plastic case+battery+SD=190g
Sony camera 85g
GP2 alone 94g
DriftHD = 120g (operational weight)
