 Not sure what you are talking about! September 16, 2007

This little camera is just superb for photos and video recording. It is completely waterproof, however you do need to make sure the clasp is firmly closed, and we have found it to be extremely durable. Only slight criticism is that it is quite big, however to be waterproof and do everything that it does, we really cant fault it. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to take photos / video footage while on or in water or biking.
 Disappointment - but mine was faulty... August 21, 2007

Update: Since initially writing my review I have since been told by GoPro that the camera I had was faulty. They have been very quick to replace my unit with a new one which should arrive soon. The customer service has been excellent from this point of view. The review of the old camera remains below - I'll update the difference when I get the new unit.
The main problem with my unit was the battery life. If you take a couple of short (ie ten second) clips of video the batteries will be drained and then I was stuck with a camera on my wrist for the rest of the session that can't do anything.
Problem two was the picture quality. I appreciate it's only 3 megapixels but the quality was pretty poor. Particularly if the sun is not shining (very, very dark photos and video with no sunshine). The worst however was the video. The quality was pretty poor, but when I played back the video's I'd shot at home they either hadn't come out (often you'd get a couple of frames and then it would stop when you knew you'd shot ten seconds worth) or you'd get your ten seconds worth but with multi-coloured lines through the middle of it, blocking the view of what you were trying to film.
