Ah, summer. Season of sun, sand, and... extreme sports. If you're at your happiest leaping off cliffs and into waves, you'll want to capture your adventures for posterity. The GoPro HD Hero2 Outdoor Edition is the best action camera out there, with a waterproof case and many mounts, a wide-angle lens with adjustable field of view, and 1080p recording skills that can even take 11MP snaps. And thanks to the new easier menu you can spend less time faffing and more time dicing with death.
