Looks like a very nice unit. The link talks about availability in Canada. Anybody seen any info on US retailers or ways to pre-order from Canada? |

Thats not the waterproof one. The one at bestbuy is Sanyo model VPC-HD700R The one you want for waterproof (if you got the foriegn version) is VPC-CA65 which will become the waterproof model mentioned orginally when on sale here. Actually, correction, the CA65 is already on sale (and pretty cheaply) but isnt 7 megapixel. Here is an underwater video with it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3pzYjt6Op8 |

Be aware that if you buy an offshore model the guarantee will not be honored in the U.S.. I'd think that would be pretty important on a $500 underwater camera. |

| Post subject: | Not HD but might check it out |
I've done alot of helmet cam stuff with mini DV. The quality is pretty good, not DV of course, but it does offer some unique ways to mount a camera. Sadly I have not been sailing much in the last few years so I don't have any sailing video using a helmet cam to show, but I have done some with white water rafting and sea kayaking. Might check out: http://www.helmetcamreview.com Another alternative for excellent quality is a Sony waterproof case for their mini cams. Don't know if they have them yet for HD cams or not, but I get great quality from my little mini DV tape cam in their housing. Here is a little clip using the WP housing and then some rudder cam: http://media.putfile.com/Wind-and-Waves ... helmet-cam Here is the vidicam in the WP housing: http://media.putfile.com/Baja-whale-shark Here is me and my entire (waterproof) helmet cam system getting a dunk: http://media.putfile.com/Man-overboard- ... helmet-cam Cheers, Brian |
