right on... I've heard of the flip. do you guys like it?

what are you guys using to edit? I don't really want to drop the dough on final cut.

my brother just got the HD go pro, it came with a waterproof case. excellent quality picture and very stable. i would advise you to get the larger card it is expensive but worth it for longer videos. here is a link to check out, it's not fishing (dirt bike riding in glamis) and kinda long, but gives you an idea about the camera. hopfully i can steal it from him this summer for some fishing footage.

I have a flip HD as well.. maybe I will just buy a case for it.

Anyway, I use Adobe Premiere Pro for video editing.

Here is another cool thing about the Go Pro HD. You can set the camera to take pictures every two seconds and you can see the quality is pretty good

I've been using the GoPro for a while; mostly for mountain biking and snowboarding. I'll be using it for kayak fishing as well because of the 16:9 HD video. The 4:3 remote camera I've been using still has a better quality image; the data rate of the GoPro is pretty low. It looks good on a computer, but unless you have a blu-ray burner and player, the only way you'll get the HD video on a big screen TV is to play the video directly from the camera.
To edit the GoPro MP4 files on a Mac; Final Cut would be first choice, Quicktime Pro will give you some basic editing features. On a PC; Sony Vegas Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro will work, but you will need to convert the MP4 files into another high quality format for Premiere because the MP4 is not a native Premiere file.
Either way; you will need a fairly beefy computer for full quality editing. Quad core with lots of RAM.
Also; you'll find out that the POV angle is cool at first, but as with any ultra wide angle camera, the shots start to look all the same. Generally speaking; in a 60 minute video, about five minutes of POV footage would be used.
