the $200 price tag got me to take notice but I think I'm going to pass, I can always find a gopro to borrow so I really don't need one

That is nuts. You could get footy of some really nice dives with waterproofing like that. And you don't need to buy a special case I'm assuming? (probably though).

It's that called Chromatic Abrasion (CA)? 

But yea, it was horrible. Not really evident in the rest of the video. Maybe there was some kind of material or smudge on the lens.

I'm pretty sure it comes with the waterproof housing just like GoPros do

Amsterdam, Netherlands? If so: Reppin'!

But bummer I missed that. All sorts of sick shit seems to be going down. Would definitely have went to Photokina too
