Go Pro Competition from Shimano?

I like the idea of a GoPro but I hate that stupid fish-eye distorted lens. The videos look fine but the curved images of everything take away a bit from the videos. I know some other cameras have the same type of wide angle lens system but some cheaper digital cameras can shoot better video without the distortion IMO.

This one looks good and the battery apparently lasts twice as long as the Go Pro but it is only splash proof whatever that means.

Jeff it means if we loose it launching or landing the camera is burnt WET toast, history, dead meat, wasted, gone.
