    Apart from the gay mounting system they have, (I made my own) they are a really good unit.
    Very clear .movs

    I like my gopro wide because it is so versatile. I can mount it anywhere on the bike or my body. I don't know of any other system that can do that. I've jumped in a swimming pool and recorded underwater action, chucked it on a stuntkite and fought with magpies, taken it to dreamworld and recorded some rides etc etc. It's just so cool. Shockproof outercase and waterproof to 100ft (or maybe it is 30?)

    If video quality is the deciding factor then yes you are correct, but if it isn't then a comparison on other criteria is justified.
    example: I have a mate that wants to capture the vortex characteristics of a tailfin and what effects the design of his new offshore racing hull has on it. He has blown 6 new gearboxes on his yami outboard with it and it is thought high freq cavitation is the culprit. The gopro is ideal to capture this data.

    I'll sell you a Tachyon for $330 or VIO POV for $1250

    I have a Vio POV myself and though it is not a High Def camera i reckon that it is better than Glens vholder-but it is much more expensive.......

    If I had the money spare I would buy what Keith is proposing. Simply for the Digital Video Recording unit which writes to an SD card. Although it comes with a purpose built lens, you are not restricted to this and can use whatever image sensor device you like on it.

    #after thought: Not sure if it has image stabilisation algo's built into it like the GoPro tho.

    It doesn't have an image stabiliser but that doesn't seem to be an issue. There is a firmware download that I haven't got around to that improves the low light quality and enhances the colour which is another advantage with this model
