That sucks Artie, I don't see how it could break - when I bought mine it was packaged hardcore.
Some fun pics I've taken;

I was saving up for perfect pass next summer, but if I keep looking at the forums I'll never get it.
Ron,
Go Pro now Perfect pass in four months. Win Win. I took my go pro with me to Hawaii and went all over with it. I did not take it diving since i just got it when i went but now i would since it works great. Somthing back then about taking it 60 feet down even with knowing it is rated for 120 feet. Only thing i would do is before you open it being in salt water is to do a fresh water wash then let it dry.
1. Unfortunately my play money doesn't add up that quickly. But I'll probably be getting the camera before we go, and get a loan if I have to for PP. Can't put it in until spring anyway. Probably last time son will be with us on a vacation. He's already looking at moving out on his own.Quote:

We got it in from the fed ex guy and heard se rattling around inside it and upon further investigation we found a small piece of black plastic bouncing around that appears to be from the black bracket that hold the actual camera. Very small defect but for 300 bucks I want it to be new newQuote:

Needing a video camera in the worst way, but need one that does all of the above. Don't really mind buying two, but if the GoPro will do both then thats what I will purchase.
I ended up with the Kodak Playsport bc I wanted one that could do both. Are you stuck with the wide angled lense for gopro or can you switch? I think that is the only issue you would have using the gopro for both.
I just bought the Go Pro for 188 free shipping BOOM SHAKALAKA
I plan to have mounds of wicked videos off the boat this year, we got the brackets to mount it to the stern of the boat for surfing.
