Anybody have one of these? I'm not expecting professional video from it but the thing looks like a sweet little toy and for only $400.

Just wondering what the quality was like for tube shots and if any ww-ers had one yet.

I have the CA-8, its pretty much the same thing minus the HD capability, the quality that comes out was pretty decent in good light, as soon as the light deteriorates or you are shooting at night there is significant noise and the autofocus really struggles, but its ability in average conditions or better and just the fact that it really doesnt matter about getting it wet etc more then makes up for this, took mine swimming down some white water rapids, unfortunately i can't post the footage as my brother has the camera and files at the moment.

I would also LOVE to see some wake footage from one of these cams. I've been pondering the same thing miss jessica....

Hopefully within the next few weeks I'll get my hands on one. Until then you can check out some guys in atl that have one. Happened to stumble upon their blog via derek grasman's... supergoodtimes.com

Scroll down and look at the pool party video and their pics from mexico.

Still would love to see some wake footy though.
