I had one of these new Xiaomi Yi action cameras arrive last week.
It's basically another GoPro type clone but has good specs - a Sony 16Mp sensor and an Ambarella A7 CPU that can do Full HD 1080p video at 60fps.
It's also got wifi (and I think Bluetooth too) so you can control it and do live view etc from your Android phone - an Apple app is due next month.
It's a great little device for the money and Xiaomi are really knocking these out cheap but unlike the SJ4000 / SJ5000 etc they don't come with any mounts as they're trying to keep the price down.
These are a Chinese market item but you can pick them up from places like Gearbest for shipping worldwide.

I did some firmware hack1ng this morning and I've currently got it ramped up from 12Mbps stock to 18Mbps video on a custom firmware - I'm going to crank it even higher tomorrow and see how she goes.
If you're in the market for this sort of action camera type device it's worth a look - here's some footage from today.
