Too expensive for me

Pros: The camera takes EXCELLENT quality footage. Provided with a bunch of mounting accessories, and is absolutely bomb-proof.

My beef: 1) Battery life. For 4 AA's I would expect more than about an hour of recording. 2) Even though it comes with mounting hardware, unless you want to screw the mount to your helmet you need to come up with some other way of mounting. 3) Price... self explanatory. 4) the remote has no indicator to tell whether or not you're recording. SO, if you accidentally hit it, or are neurotic, you still need to open your pack to check if it's recording or not.

Basically I just didn't use this thing enough to justify the cost. I guess the battery problem could be solved with rechargeables. FYI my 4 gig SD card yields 44 minutes of record time.
