Some ideas for any of you thinking of video recording your rides.

What once was the 5MP Hero3 White, which sold for $200, looks now to be the Hero HD and sells for $130.

The 11.9 megapixel Sony AS20 Black, which sold for $200, is selling for $170.

I forgot why I chose GoPro over the Sony, but mine are the Hero3 White version 5MP, now HD.  The Hero3's built-in stereo microphone is quite realistic in its audio capture.  Not sure about the Sony.  That may have been why I made the choice I did.  I think the Sony's case has to be drilled for better sound reproduction.

And comparison of similar ones:

It's about taking in the most corners to your destination, not about the shortest, quickest route.
