Wide angle vs. fish-eye lense

is there a big difference? From pics, wide angle seems to keep lines straight as opposed to the curved outer lines of a fisheye lense. Am I right, or wrong? Is there a big difference?

i don't need that. I know they are different, but they are both wide angle lenses. What's the big difference?

a fisheye is just a really wide angle lens that like curves the whole way distorting the image, while a wide angle doesn't much until it reaches the edges, I think, either way that other guy is an asshole.

Plus a lot of fisheye lenses project a circular image, which means that the video filmed with them will be vignetted. Some fisheye lenses are full frame though.

as far as still photography goes, a typical wide angle is like 28mm (not much distortion - it can cover anywhere from like 100-120 degrees), and a fisheye is about 15mm, so it's a 180 degree viewing angle.

fisheye makes things look bigger, which is why I think half the stuff in skateboarding isn't nearly as big as it looks in videos cause I know when Im filming a stairset with fisheye it looks 20X bigger.
