Anyone got their hands on one yet:-

Much prefer the compact size of these to the full size versions.

Much better and flexible mounting options (some of which come with it), waterproof, slightly better battery life and... comes with stickers (maybe)!!

The other option is the £99 Go-Pro which gives you all the above, without the compact size though.

I've not seen it, but presumably using the tripod mount to bodge it will increase the overall size of it to the point the cheap Go-pro would then be comparable.

From what I've seen of them, the image quality from the session isn't up to the 3/4 models - also built in battery is a bummer. One of the advantages of the 3/4 was the fact you can get spare batteries and switch them when required etc.

Unless you're filming for hours on end, you can just carry a USB battery and recharge it as when required.

On my 3 I just use the app on my phone, but once you've stuck it on and set it pointing in the right direction you never really bother looking again.
