I've been looking at getting one of these sooner or later for some fun. I'd be interested to know if anyone has had any experience with these.

In the west you have saying 'you get what you pay for'
This is very cheap camera.
Not getting me for wrong this is very good design and build, nice small and very compact for taking of the big wipeouts but the image recorded is very low res.
Take a normal TV then halve the size of image you are looking at... then halve again.
You now have picture in 1 square corner of tv and 3 other corners black screen.
Now you stretch the colour picture to cover entire screen... because picture is small you must be stretching the pixels that making up of the picture... when it get to full size of your tv ,picture look chunky and washed out... no definition between edges of image !
This is what this camera work like (very low res)
Is OK if you wanting for taking and showing images on PC only in small window (maybe using of the media player with 320 x 240 screen max)and in low res
Definitely no good for watching of image on TV screen of any size

Hey Kremlin,
On the site it says that it records at "640 X 480 VGA (x 30 fps)", which is better than normal PAL TV, isn't it? You don't know what compression they're using, which might bring it down a bit, but it's still a far cry from the quarter of a PAL screen you're talking about.
Fair enough it's not HD but what do you expect for less than $200...
