California Kayaker Magazine review
Posted by: Peter-CA on Feb-16-13 8:10 PM (EST)

California Kayaker Magzine ran a set of reviews on a few cameras (Pentax, Olympus, GoPro, and Oregon Scientific). The reviews are getting a little dated now, as most of these brands have newer versions of the cameras. But I think they are worth reading for the comparison of the pros and cons of POV versus handheld cameras.

Reviews were in issues 6 and 7. All issues can be read online for free at http://www.calkayakermag.com/magazine.html
