Spring and Summer are fast approaching and that usually means lots of outdoor activities that you will want to catch on video and in photos. An action cam of sorts is a simple way to grab those awesome shots without putting your phone in immediate danger to do so. The HTC RE Camera is one such camera that you might not have been able to justify at $199, but is easily worth the money at $99.99 and right now that is exactly what you’ll pay at Best Buy to get your hands on one.
The RE Camera carries a 16MP 1/2.3″ Sony 146 degree wide-angle Sony CMOS sensor with an f/2.8 aperture. It has image stabilization and ISO 1600 for improved image capture in low-light situations. The body is waterproof, when you attach the included bottom cap, and the purchase also nets you an included 8GB micro SD card. Although, if you are going on a weekend bender and plan to take lots of video and photos, you might want to invest in a larger card if you won’t have your phone or laptop along for the trip.
The added benefit to the RE Camera is the associated app which can act as your view finder, remote photo and video toggle and even lets you live stream to YouTube if you have an internet connection available at the time.
The RE is a pretty cool little gadget to have handy in your bag for trips, adventures and your weekend VLog. At $99.99 it is worth checking out. You can pick it up in white, blue or orange right now at BestBuy.
