check the go pro resolution. For the price I do not think you can beat the fact that the entire unit is self-contained and waterproof (it is nh!). I'm not sure of the numbers but for us (at the bicycle company) using it on computers and in videos the resolution is fine. The sheot on the website is pretty true to the quality, check the MTB or car footage. My only complaint, and this is a last gen one, is that their was no light for record, only on. Hit the button, it's going, hit it again it stops. The new ones have that sorted I believe.
