Video sunglasses
I have a pair of sunglasses with built in video camera that I can take either continues video or still photos with. Just choose format before moving on bike, then press button on frame that turns recording on/off ,or takes your single photograph. You then down load it to your computer, printer etc. Glasses were $70 on Amazon. Will accept up to 32GB data card. Takes video for over an hour and is displayed on computer in 3 minute sections, so if you videod continuously for 30 minutes the video would show up on computer as 10 three minute sections. I don't know how many still pictures it would take with 32GB card but it would be a lot. Picture quality is very good and with sound recording and auto exposure. Comes with 7gb data card I replaced it with 32GB card. You can see reviews on YouTube. This video camera does NOT compensate for or smooth out bumby motion.

It captures a sense of motion.
I am sure you can appreciate that not every photo has to be perfectly focused to be of "stellar quality." That sort of belief is way too ridged a view of things, if you ask me. Are Monet's works not stellar because they lack crisp lines and definition? Of course not.

I shot this the other week. Not a photo. You can see when I fell upside down at the 0:19 mark: https://vimeo.com/325104165 I did come close to eating it later, on a a rough stretch of gravel at one point
I'm a professional, so it's ok that i do this stuff.

That discovery can be fun, if not specific. Someone also mentioned that the you can use voice commands with the latest versions provided the environment isn't too noisy. As a photographer I will always choose to compose my photos as apposed to trying to "catching it on the fly." In fact, when I'm really serious about the photos I don't mix the two.

Adding insult to injury, TWO busted windows. Smash and grabs can happen when parked in rural areas. I decided to respect the adjacent gas station's property by parking in a small dirt area most riders use for riding in this area, someone decided not to respect MY property... very little lost.

My Galaxy phone has a photo icon shortcut on the lock screen. And it's set to take a picture when I say "Shoot!"
But on rides, I bring my old Canon Powershot. It's too obsolete to worry about, the pictures aren't nearly as good as a phone. So I don't worry about dropping it -- but I added some tape strips to improve the grip anyway. EDIT-- ha, lots of Powershot cameras in use in this thread. They were expensive back in the day, but just aren't up to current standards.
It's a no-look press of the power button, then 1 or 2 seconds later, it's ready to go. It's wide angle, so the aiming doesn't need to be accurate. But take lots of photos, many don't work out.
