Any one use them? Is this a "new comer" in the disposable camera world?

Sure looks like the Drift POS.
Expect to see a lot of new cams. In this case, one has to wonder if they're trying to capitalize on the RED Epic name.
Expect to see more and more of these smaller cams. With GoPro now in Walmart and Target, there is a huge residual market in play.

Add Dicks Sporting Goods right next to the Bows and Canoes.

Figured it would be an easy to mount and cheap disposable camera like the, Contours, Drifts and GoPro's. Just never heard of them, and at 45 bucks not bad (discounting the frame rate and focus etc).

Makes you wonder how fast things will inprove. I'd like to see a gopro with the sensor mounted flush and the rest inside the helmet for a snag free use.

The main reason there is any body depth at all is that there needs to be space between the lens and the sensor. That's one of the many reasons these cameras look terrible compared to "real cameras."
