Three resolutions at 15 fps: 640 x 480 (default), 320 x 240 or 160 x 120

pretty shitty.

15 fps at all 3 resolutions, yes. There are other cam's on the market in that price range that will do 15fps at 640, and 30fps at the lower ones.

My bro bought one a couple months back for about $120. I don't know any details on it but I know it's at least 30fps in some modes. He left for the marines 2 weeks ago so I probably won't hear from him for another 2 months, but I can ask him when I see him.

Just look into the higher quality cams that are on the same sites as the one you found, it can't be that difficult to locate them...

Hmm, gonna put it inside your helmet with a clear faceshield

oooo, this actually needs a SD card to work. I thought it needed a wireless base station hooked up to a camera or something. So $100 isn't looking that bad now, but you also have to drop like $50 on a card unless you have one laying around. If they come out with a higher priced version that can do 30fps at 640 using CF instead of SD...I think they'd sell pretty nicely at $300.

Yea man...it comes with a 32mb mem card(weak)...I'd definitly opt for the 1 gig

And lets face it...although I hope it never happens...as I push more and more theres always that chance of a wreck so......

Users manual says it will actually do 20fps at 320x240 adn 25fps at 160x120...

For an all inclusive stand alone camera $100 is a pretty sweet deal, especially if its as small as it looks.. Actually its a bit larger than I had originally thought.... Still not a bad deal.. Curious to know what other similar products are out there....

That camera looks pretty good for what it is.. self contained. if your just looking to get some simple clips then i think its good. but there are more professional approches.. such as using some type of recording device under the seat or attached to your suit somewhere. They do make small ones. With a remote lipstick camera attached to your helmet. Thats the typical setup i belive. Mochaboy had a very small miniDV camcorder that he put in his jacket and hooked up a remote camera to his helmet, it worked pretty good.
