Buy ATC2K All Terrain Waterproof Digital Video Camera from Woolworths.co.uk online shop

I don't recommend or endorse particular products but there have been a number of requests for bulletcam type camcorders over the past few months, so if you are involved in extreme sports and want to post your adventures on YouTube or similar, it might be worth looking at. It is completely useless for making 'real' videos with as it only shoots up to a screen size of 640 by 480, well below the 720 by 576 required for 'real' video work.
