I got the next model down. The quality is cr@p compared to the GoPro for mine. I also used a Lumix FT2 and it recently died after a couple of months, water got through the seals..... I have to wait five weeks for the news from Panasonic and the thing failed after following ALL instructions.....c@nts....

I am now going to get a GoPro and only use it on a flymount. GoPro has a decent case, is light and a very decent quality picture. Plus it can do pulse photos (timed) so you get large res rather than just screen grabs from videos at 3mb at best.....

Only my opinion, but am really disappointed with the Lumix and the Oregon..........

I can't comment on the Oregon but I can comment on the GoPro. Its unreal. Its a great example of something designed to do one thing and to do it better than anything else ever made.

i tend to agree its a pretty good gadget
its even better now with the lcd screen ...makes it so
much easier to compose a shot and replay.
used mine for the first time today....niccccce!

You've got to take the GoPro on your Hols Doodah, we took footage on Maui last year sailing, snorkeling underwater on reef (very clear) etc. So small and light for trave, easy to use; even for me. Taking it back again this year, try taking more daring footage in the waves.

Yes I have the newest GoPro.

I don't think I'll worry about the LCD screen as I see the GoPro as a sort of point and shoot device. Not a camera you check the angle and review footage on.

If I make it up to the Burrum GPS comp I'll take the GoPro with me and will take some footage. I'll try and buy a few different mounts so the footage can be mixed up a bit.

gggrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Whats the problem? These videos are a great way to share a part of what is great about windsurfing. My friends, family and colleagues liked the ones I made.

If you don't like them, don't watch them.
