I specifically choose my cameras with riding in mind. Im a big fan of the Canon Powershot G Series personally. Ive had a G6, G12, and just last week got in a G1X. I carry in a belt loop camera bag. I used a MRock since 2005 (before I even started riding). The new G1X is too big and I have a Tamrac Digital Zoom 2 on order.
DPreview is a terrific site! That S100 is all the rage over there it seems. I checked one out at Best Buy the other day and the lens looks soooo tiny! LOL I havent read much of the reviews on them, but I just have to wonder if that tiny little lens actually lives up to all the hype? I guess it is terrific for the size that it is. Very pocketable for sure!
I have a Gopro Hero 2 as well. It does take stills, but I cant imagine anyone trying to use it as a stills camera. It does video extremely well on the other hand. Amazing quality for such a small and rugged little camera. Gives my Canon HF S20 a run for video quality I have to say and there is a firmware update supposedly coming that will boost the video quality 35mpbs compared to 24mbs of my Canon. That might not be the biggest factor, but it should be interesting what the video looks like after the update.
This is my favorite shot with my G12. No bags. Middle of summer. No jacket. Just me and my bike and the G12 catching the golden hour during a ride down several hours from home near the mountains in SW Oklahoma.
I have to frame the shot with actually framing the picture in mind and the picture frame - I think this was the one I printed off to frame:
