Here is a cool outdoor camera system that lets you capture fun footage all the time. The Sony Action Camera Mini Kit comes with a live view remote, allowing you to capture stable footage outdoors. It can be controlled using a phone. It has 5 video modes (including 1080/60p @50Mbps HD and 2x slow motion). You also get a built-in stereo mic to record high quality audio.
The HDR-AZ1 camera is splashproof. It is not too bulky and won’t get in your way. You can broadcast your video as it happens via Ustream. The camera has an ultra-wide angle professional ZEISS lens (up to 170-degree viewing angle). Like what you see? This sets you back $348.
