Anyone try a Shimano Sport Camera (like a GoPro but more compact)

I just ran across this today.==> SHIMANO SPORT CAMERA

I currently use a P&S attached to my MTB handlebars for shots. I've never liked GoPros because they are basically boxes and this Shimano is more my style as it's more sleek and less likely to get snagged.

just curious if anyone here has tried one. I'll be checked on a bike geek forum too.
It's $250 .. a bit pricey but hopefully effective.

Description
Shimano enters the compact sport camera market with the new Shimano CM-1000 Sports Camera, letting you capture your sporting experiences with incredibly high quality photos and HD video. Shimano's legacy of innovation and quality continue with this lightweight and compact high-definition video camera with advanced connectivity options. Its F2.0 bright lens boasts incredible low-light performance while its 16MP back illuminated CMOS image sensor enables stunning 1080p HD video. The camera offers dual, standard angle 135° and super wide 180° modes, while a 90° increment auto image rotation allows users to flip the camera in multiple directions and maintain a horizontal image plane. At 86 grams, including the battery and lens cover, and with dimensions of 44x70x30mm, its pocket size design is smaller than a standard deck of cards. Out of the box and without the need for an external case, the CM-1000 is waterproof up to 10 meters. This depth meets the IPX-8 Waterproof Standard - the best rating for electronics experiencing continuous underwater use. The CM-1000 utilizes WiFi connectivity and custom iOS and Android apps for mobile devices to allow live views, video playback, and remote adjustments to camera settings and shot framing. The device also uses ANT+ and ANT private wireless connections to transmit data from bicycle computers and accessories and the new Shimano D-Fly wireless Di2 transmitter, to show performance cycling data in your captured videos. The two-button design allows quick control of key functions while dual LED lights and audible cues identify settings. The camera is also compatible with GoPro mounts. Memory card not included.

IDK, Gopros are well and truly leading the pack. I'd be hesitant to go with anything else.

They're too bulky for me.

Yeah ... I'll probably go that route .. just have to rummage up $250.
it is slim enough for the helmet too.
A GoPro on a helmet would get ripped off (or the helmet, or the rider from the bike) by a low hanging tree branch.
I tried a regular square small P&S on a helmet. That lasted for maybe 10 minutes.

That's what she says.
