any experience with helmet cams?

also, how many minutes of recording can i expect per GP of memory (at a reasonably good recording quality)?

i think the best you can hope for is about an hour per gig

sharper image and affiliated stores have one fairly cheap (99 dolla i wanna say) that records compressed mpeg video to flash memory, would be perfectly fine for web/memories. if you want it for anything more serious, id suggest a helmet cam that hooks up to a DV camcorder with a video in.

$129, 640x480 at 30fps but probably compressed and optics are mediocre. 90 mins recording on 1 gig card?

oh man, 1 hour per gig at pretty decent quality? That's more than enough. I just didn't want it to be like 5-10 minutes/GB.
