Can get them for just over £200 from America of eBay. I have the original Go Pro but really taking a fancy to the HD version. Just wondered if anybody had one and if it was worth it, opinions etc etc

Yeah quality but don't get one unless you're good at editing because a simple clip takes up fucking tons of space, recorded a mad dash from Gravesend -> Dartford and it was over 1gB in size... For like 6 minutes of footage or something stupid...
It makes uploading footage very difficult so in the end I didn't actually get to publish anything except tiny little clips like this:

The quality is pretty special though but yeah useless unless you have decent video editing software and a decent PC. I built a new PC spending like over a grand on it and it still stutters quite a bit when editing a 8gB video file and that was only like a 20 minutes dash from Tony's to mine, I wish I could somehow show you the clip as it's proper funny but yeah literally can't publish it as it's so big... 
EDIT: Oh and that clip is 480p because I couldn't figure out how to save it in anything higher. An edited clip like that in full resolution took like 500mB on my PC even though it was only a few seconds... It's so fucking shit but I'm sure I'm just a proper n00b at editing and stuff.

Pretty sure Corsa Sport Gav has one, think that's what he uses to record his mountain biking.
