Default Track Cameras

I'm looking for camera options and I imagine you other track junkies are too. So lets get a camera review thread going.

I'll start

--Stats--
Camera: Go Pro Hero Wide
View: Wide Angle Lens
Mounting Method: Suction Cup w/ adjustable arms
Resolution: Standard Def 512x384 @ 30fps
Output: .AVI
Sound: Yes, mono
Memory: SD card up to 2gb
Batteries: 2xAAA (rechargeable recommended)
Link: http://www.goprocamera.com/index.php?area=2&productid=2

--Review--
Paid: $200
Record Time: About 1 hour
Owned For: 1 year
Usage: 2-4 hours a month
Opinion: Good setup for 200$ since everything you need is included less SD card. Picture quality is good in optimal lighting conditions but is poor otherwise because camera doesn't handle lots of contrast. Rechargeable batteries will last for 2 hours easily, normal batteries 2 hours TOPS. Sound quality is either poor with lots of wind noise or too quiet. Has some other still photo modes that I've never used.
Would You Recommend?: Now that it's 150$... meh

i have the GoPro Hero Wide over a year now. Tempting to get rid of it and buy the HD version. I've heard the audio recording has improved tremendously
