Liquid Image Ego Camera Gets Introduced [Liquid Image's Ego Camera Provides HD Footage On The Go In A Small, Wearable Package]

The tiny camcorder is, not too surprisingly, still going strong even in the face of substantial competition from smartphones with cameras and video shooting capability on board. And one of the newest entries in the small camera race is the Ego camera from the folks at Liquid Image.

It may not be the most flattering product name out there, but the Ego from Liquid Image, geared toward extreme sports enthusiasts and people who love making YouTube videos involving their personal center of gravity inverting several times over the space of a few seconds, packs a pretty impressive array of features.

The camera is water resistant, so you can take it whitewater rafting with something like confidence (though scuba diving with it, sadly, will be right out), and while you’re cruising down the river, you’ll be able to shoot video in 1080p at 30 frames per second, though if you’re okay with 720p resolution you’ll be able to shoot at an impressive 60 frames per second. It’s got a two inch LCD display, with two control buttons and onboard wi-fi, meaning that, if you’re in an area with a wi-fi connection, you’ll be able to upload your video from the camera directly to your other wi-fi connected equipment of choice. It even offers up 32 gigs of microSD memory to give you quite a bit of storage.

You’ll be able to pick this one up this June for the plenty reasonable price of $149, so if you’re looking for a way to record your own crazy antics, this might be the one to do it.

Oddly, though, the camera makes no mention of shock- or dust-proofing or the like, unusual for a camera so clearly meant to go most anywhere, but still, at those prices you’ll likely get your money’s worth.

But what do you guys think on this one? Figure that the Liquid Image Ego camera will make a big splash with the extreme? Or are there already other options, like GoPro’s Hero line, that do the job better than this one? No matter what you think, head on down to the comments sections and let’s talk Ego!
