Summary: [...] gives it 4.5 thumbs up!
Comment: Overall, the GoPro Wide HERO camera was easy to use, worked well and captured good video and pics. Despite minor complaints about the mounting brackets for the handlebar and subpar audio, there's really nothing not to like about it. We'd recommend it highly, and it's a bargain compared to some other sports/helmet cams on the market. There are other options with more features and higher quality video, but the prices jump more than tw0-fold. For general cycling antics, the Wide HERO is a great camera, and the wide-angle lens helps add to the visual experience without distracting from the central image. A couple of our friends use this same model for motocross and love it, and we think you'll love it, too. Read the full review here: [...]

Summary: Good pics, BAD Battery drain
Comment: Good quality, love the wide angle.
Biggest hassles are: 1) Battery drain. Even with brand new lithiums, only good for a couple of hrs of use at most. Less if you leave the battery in the camera (not sure why, but camera continues to drain battery even if off). My commute is 45 minutes, I have to recharge batteries after every use. Ridiculous.
2) Limited to 2gb SD. This is silly, as the camera is a memory hog.
Note to Manufacturers out there: If I could find another wide angle camera that doesn't have these two limits, I'd throw this one in the trash and buy it.

Summary: Shipping Sux!
Comment: Still waiting for the item. It has been over 8 days and it has not arrived. Would rather buy this at Pep Boys for $199, if I knew it was going to take this long.

Summary: Met My Expectations
Comment: Picture quality is good. Use is not intuitive. Instructions are lacking in clarity and organzation. I discovered I can power it off its proprietary USB mini cable and a car lighter adapter purchased from another vendor online. The drawback is it must be removed it from protective clear box or else drill a hole in box. The USB cable is bundled with the RCA cables. A ferrite bead filter is molded in which dissallows seporation. Can not set time or date. GoPro promised firmware update for 4GB memory capability and has not delivered to date - April 09. Automatic memory overwrite feature would be a big plus. I saw it avertised for significantly less one week after I purchased it. Not thrilled, but not dissappointed either.
