The Garmin Virb X is a slightly lower-end version of the Garmin Virb XE camera, but is still packed with enough features to make other action cams turn green with envy. Like its superior counterpart however, this camera is fitted with a bunch of sensors that let you display relevant graphics and data on top of your action videos.
This camera is capable of capturing Full HD 1080p video at 30 frames per second, and can record HD 720p video at 60 frames per second. It can also work at 120 frames per second with a 480p resolution.
With this camera, you can now display a graph showing your heart rate as you're taking off on a bungee jump for example. The whole idea is to make action videos even more interactive and informative.
