non HD go pros arent that bad, but do not compare to the HD ones. that being said, dont use it and sell it for like 150 and buy a new one. thats what i did (since i bought a regular one before the HD ones came out)

GoPro HD >> GoPro Wide

For you ignants, from Wikipedia:
"The notation a >> b means that a is much greater than b."

even if you didn't want the HD why did you have to buy two?

i have a non HD and i like it a lot. when i bought it i didn't have enough $$ for the HD but i'm going to trade up as soon as i can.

Probably for coaching purposes, so the coaches can see what the QB sees when they watch tape. He's not getting hit in practice anyway..

if someone's having trouble with that, they probably shouldn't be on the internet all together.

I've actually wondered if this could be done.
3D POV would be really intense

Just seen that GoPro might be bringing out a more affordable version of the HD Hero, which records footage in 960p.
