Zach, have you seen the Go Pro HD? I have had one for months now and it is awesome and rivals big time video camcorders when it comes to quality.

That is really something.

I own the Creative Vado pocket video camera.
It’s great ‘above’ the water: extremely light, small and very affordable. Very wide angle lens so you can get a lot of the horizon in the picture. Under good light conditions the quality is pretty amazing.
Built-in 8Gb of memory allows you to shoot 2 hours of 720P HD movies.

I bought a waterproof bag for the Vado to make shots of the fish released etc. The shots are okay but the noise of the bag is really annoying.

So I guess the best pocket camera for now is the Kodak Playsport. Just waterproof on its own.

Well, I’ll keep my Vado for now. The underwater shots aren’t that appealing after all.

Cole: Curious, how does the compression on the gopro 1080p look?

[Bob Riggins]

Is the GoPro a true waterproof camera?
