Also; you'll find out that the POV angle is cool at first, but as with any ultra wide angle camera, the shots start to look all the same.

ya, I hear ya. Im hoping to get one standard and one fishy...

Not a bad POV cam for the price. Fine for the internet. Full HD is not as wide as the 4:3 format; you'll need to shadow box footage if you use both formats.
Still photos are 5MP; any $100 point and shoot digicam will give you better stills.
The "rolling shutter" on CMOS cameras will get your attention after a while.

I have a Gates Underwater housing with a Hi8 camera. It's just a anchor out of the water. When I get more comfortable fishing off the kayak I will bring it out and take some underwater fishing shots. The GoPro video looks really good and I love the small size.

I like the GoPro for what it is; a $300, low bit rate, fixed lens, HD CMOS camera.
