I did some searches and it hasn't come out with a firmware update yet or any addon packs yet. Anyone here own one?

Or this thing.

Thanks!

I just got a HD flip (video) for xmas. They have a waterproof housing. Shoots pretty good video. So may give it a shot.

May not be as good as the second link you sent, but the Optio W80 digi cam has HD resolution, at 30 FPS.  Can be found for 150$ - 200$ online, and its a really cool lil camera. So unless you need 60 FPS (overkill for youtube) its a pretty good deal!

I got the GoPro HD about 2 weeks ago... I got it specifically for whitewater kayaking.  Used it last weekend on the South Fork of the American River on the Gorge ru  (Class III) and it worked great (I used the "Chesty" mount,which is extra).  Also used it yesterday while pheasant hunting.

Turns out my computer doesn't have the oomph to process HD video so I'm builind a new one with an AMD quad-core processor... the video looks great though on the TV...

Not sure if you can see it but I bought this cheap hlmet cam off Ebay, Ive read some reviews on it, video is ok but audio is lacking. I have an Olympus watrproof cam I use but bought this for fun

FYI, the audio on the GoPro is incredibly high quality.

You can post HD video up to 500 MB per week for free on www.vimeo.com. Anything larger than that will cost.

I just received my cheap helmet cam today, for $40, the video quality is $40. o I just ordered the GoPo non-HD camera. It came out to $213 with 2 day shipping. Good deal, says its waterproof up to 100 feet. We will see

The GoPro HD is waaaaaaay water proof... I only use it in gnarly whitewater environments and it hasn't failed me yet.

Here is a sweet kayak fishing video in a Hobie of the Gopro wide non-hd

The HD has way better video quality.

Here is some footage Zee shot with the GoPro, It is not HD though.

Got my GoPro camera yesterday, had to test it on the drive to work from my house!

BE aware the Go Pro does not float, sinks like a stone. Found this out the hard way down in Baja after only about 15 minutes of use.  
Glad I didn't pay for it
