We’re starting to wonder where introducing lasers doesn’t make everything better. Case in point: Swann’s just-shipping Bolt HD action camera. While the 1080p video, microSD storage and 135-degree lens will be familiar from the Freestyle HD we saw in 2011, there’s now a laser pointer to make sure the camera is on target when it isn’t an option to peek through the detachable LCD. A sleeker look and an upgrade to 12-megapixel still photos also give us reason to upgrade. It’s not a uniform move upwards from the Freestyle HD, however — the Bolt HD can only submerge to 32 feet versus the 65 of its ancestor. As long as your scuba dives don’t run that deep, however, the lower $200 price for the new camera might prove tempting.
