Liquid Image's "Ego" camera


Watch out GoPro and Contour, there is a new adventure camera coming to the market in June.  Liquid Image will be releasing their Ego video camera in the Spring.  The camera will record video in 1080 HD, take 12mp stills, and will have a 136 degree lens.  It will also allow you to stream LIVE to a smart phone via wifi.  Now, these features are nothing new for the evolving extreme sport camera industry. GoPro has already announced and Contour has already introduced live streaming.  The fact that Ego is waterproof is nothing that hasn't been done before either..... so whats the hype?  The Ego will come in 5 colors, be 1/2 the price of the current cameras, and is 1/2 the size.  It's lighter, smaller, and cheaper.  I think those are 3 reasons that Liquid Image is going to shake the industry when it is released.  Suggested retail on the Ego will be only $150.
