Novelty camera maker GoPro thinks it has the answer with the "Digital Hero 3," a 3-megapixel waterproof digicam attached to a big Velcro wriststrap. The idea is that the camera is there whenever you've got a spare second (and finger) to press the shutter.

The camera also captures video at 30 frames per second. It runs on AAA batteries and SD memory cards and retails for $140. Target market is thrill sporters such as skiers, surfers, kayakers and climbers.
