I think it says "equipment thread" so no reason why cameras couldn't be discussed. I seriously doubt it's a "fad", since people have liked to video their adventures and presumed achievements for quite some years, it hasn't gone away and very unlikely to do so in the future. Even Dave films his skiing, although stubbornly with a handheld cam, but this is his choice, some people like to keep their hands free. And it's definitely not a "fashion". They are even less of a fashion item than a ski jacket. Just because you personally don't like cameras doesn't make them a less legitimate topic :)
