First impressions:
Replay has the best packaging, a carry bag, a nice shape, good quality mounts... but I won't be able to test it as this box doesn't contain a cable with which I could charge it. Oh well. The Replay itself has a micro USB connection, and I did happen to have a cable but it doesn't work with it. I'm assuming that they've got a proprietary set of connections in the cable. Either that or they've accidentally given me a faulty unit and not a demo one.
It's a shame, I was interested in seeing the Replay work. Especially because it's the most aesthetically pleasing and smallest and I think most people would like that on their bike/helmet.
The Veho Muvi has the best in-box clamps, by a league. The initial quality (of image) seems great. Menus are basic but work fine. Concerned by a total absence of waterproofing/shower-resistance, but I know there is a plastic waterproof case available so it's largely a non-issue.
The Drift HD is really nice. Mounts included won't work on a bike, but I'll attach it to the side of a helmet for the test. There is a handlebar mount available, so that's cool. Especially like the fact that there are two batteries, that it's pretty shower-proof (not sure I'd want to submerge it), and that the menus are a breeze (managed to record and playback within moments of powering it up).
So I'll be testing the Veho Muvi and the Drift HD. The Replay will have to wait as I won't get the chance to get the charger from ActionCameras before I leave on Monday morning.
