GPS device maker Garmin International (GRMN) upped its game in the action camera market vs. category leader GoPro on Monday by debuting its next generation of HD sports cameras. Garmin announced the Virb X and Virb XE action cameras, which will be available this summer for $300 and $400, respectively. The main difference between the two models is that the XE has higher-resolution video and faster frame rates. GoPro cameras are priced at $130 to $500. Compared with Garmin’s first-generation product, the new cameras are smaller, have better video quality and a new form factor, Dougherty analyst Charles Anderson said in a research note Monday. The new Virb cameras lack a preview screen, but have Bluetooth audio connectivity for wireless headsets and microphones. Scalper1 News
