All the video I've seen from cheaper versions of the GoPro, Drift, Contour etc are absolutely crap. I think for tards who don't care, it'd be fine but...

Looks like Kami is right.

The Portable Video Viwerer is $29.99

The memory storage is MicroSD for good or ill.

The battery is Li-Po, but they don't say whether it is built-in or user replaceable.

Basically right now... more questions than answers.

The manufacturer ad:



and then for a dose of reality, a video review of the SD version with sample footage



Pixel bleed in high speed action.

Autofocus seems a tad slow.

Auto Aperture lags a bit a seems to cause flicker... sometimes a lot.

In the second segment not sure what's happening with the the built-in mic.

Seems like a lot of Version 1, quick-to-market-itis.

ATB,

Go back and watch some GoPro 1 footage :o eep! There's a good reason some cameras sell for $300... R&D, quality components...

Neat concept though!
