Abstract: Where Garmin has the potential though to differentiate is the inroads in sports and fitness that primarily audio/video companies lack. Thus, much of this review will be focused on whether or not Garmin has been able to execute on that vision – and thus by...
Limited depth waterproofing, Tricky to swap microSD cards, White case marks easily
The VIRB exploits Garmin's GPS expertise, and it's well designed with a simple slide switch to start and stop recording. It arrives with a GoPro mount adapter, and the whole package has been well thought out, though it's only waterproof to 1m without the...
Abstract: You can't just do something dangerous and insane these days without filming it for posterity. And while action cameras let us relieve these life-highlights over and over, they aren't all created equal. We decided to see for ourselves which one could handl...
Overall, the VIRB is a very strong entry into the action camera market and Garmin has done well to create a camera with strong features and some personality to boot. It's a little bit on the pricey side, but boasts enough features to be worth the store ta...

Bottle-shaped physique, Chroma display, Sliding Record function, Compatibility with other Garmin devices, Array of shooting modes, Water-resistant, 2000mAh battery
Bottle-shaped physique, Chroma display, Steep price tag
Bonne autonomie, Bonne qualité des images en bonne lumière, Résistance à l'eau, Facilité d'utilisation, Connexion Wi-Fi et application smartphone, Compatibilité avec d'autres produits Garmin (ANT+), Écran LCD couleur sur le dessus
Un peu trop lourde pour être portée sur un casque, Carte mémoire sous la batterie, HDTV 1080 30 i/s seulement, Écran illisible dans la pénombre, Mise sous tension un peu lente, Manque de précision en basse lumière
Pour un premier essai, la Virb Elite de Garmin est une belle réussite : solide, résistante à l'eau, facile à utiliser, elle offre en outre une bonne connectivité avec d'autres produits de la marque. Si la GoPro Hero 3+ offre une meilleure qualité d'image,...

Les capteurs intégrés sur le modèle Elite, L'autonomie annoncée, L'écran intégré, L'application smartphone, La certification IPX7 sans caisson
Rien
La Virb Elite ne fera pas d'ombre à la plus performante des Hero 3+, la Black Edition… tout du moins sur la qualité vidéo. Car pour le reste, ce modèle de Garmin est une vraie tuerie. Bien conçue, très agréable à utiliser (notamment grâce à son écran coul...
