Does your camera have a big wetspot on it and that is what the blur is from? Or is that normal? (before the jump)

yea there was water on the lens. what i've started doing is putting rain-x on it before i take it in the water. makes a big difference.

Not a bad idea. Cool. I'll have to take a look. They seem ok for $40, though they don't appear to have a great frame rate.

Still, $40 for a 1080p 30fps camera is not bad at all

on the polaroid, you can get 60/fps @ 720p

Since they are the same camera I would assume that the Winbook can do the same 60fps @ 720p as well

Ya, $40 is $40. I'm heading to Hawaii in a month and thinking of picking up a waterproof camera for the trip. More research to come.

i record mountain bike rides, i've used a suction cup to mount it to the car, i bought that hand held pole (heehee) and record myself doing stupid shit like jumping off a cliff or going down water slides into a river.

even if you don't buy this one, get something. they're sweet.
