My last contribution to this thread is
90% of youtubers watch videos in 360p and not in full screen. Most low end computers have lo res screens so anything over 720 is not visible anyway.
I am out to "document" the good, bad, ugly, greasy, slimy, wet, snowy, crappy, dirbike conditions that I get myself into. I am not shooting promotional or professional videos. Every dollar i spend on this camera is TAKING AWAY from the money i could be using to go to a nice place, or that extra trip at the end of the month. $$$$ is king, and riding is more important to me than how the video looks.

Same package but 1080p, and currently under $150
