I ordered the GoPro HD Hero2 last Sunday.
Professional 11 MP sensor,Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista, 7 and Later, Mac OS x 10.5 and Later
Professional low light performance,1-Year Limited Warranty
Full 170º, Medium 127º, Narrow 90º FOV in 1080p
120 fps WVGA, 60 fps 720p, 48 fps 960p, 30 fps 1080p Video
Ten 11 MP photos per second burst, one 11 MP photo every 0.5 sec in Timelapse Mode
$199.00 from Amazon then.
Today it's $253.99 there.
It's crazy how the price bounces around.
It sells for $299.99 at Academy Sports here in town.
I'm not sure just how much I will record.
I do know that I will be documenting some work runs.
This is the one that convinced me to get it:

Update:
I have a GoPro Hero2.
I bought it from Amazon.
The current ad for Academy Sports has them for $179.99 with a 8gb SD card included.
I've added the wifi bacpac combo that I purchased from GoPro directly.
It included the remote.
$96 and change taxed and shipped.
I set up the smartphone app last night.
I'm in awe of the technology that this system represents.
