Thanks for taking the time to respond and to expain TurkeyRookie! Looks like a good option for me, currently using a Sony waterproof camera on video mode to record my hunts.

In my experience making hunting videos, I'd rather have 4 of these than 1 GoPro. I've seen enough videos of some guy with a camera on his head shooting geese. The videos that I enjoy most feature multiple vantage points.
I also prefer other cams for the shooter perspective b/c the GoPro makes every shot look like a skybust.
I can certainly agree with / see your point of view, which is why I bought a couple GoPro's and mounts. The one I am most excited about / main intersted is the dog harness camera sits over her head and thought it make for some neat retrieve footage, Also the advantage to the GoPro with the wireless capability is being able to set it on a steak say off the shooters location and pointed at the spread looking back at the shooters etc, all kinds of different options with the availability to turn it off / on remotely.
As for the last comment and the skybust effect, this is a result of using the GoPro in "superview" mode while it offers a wide viewing angle, it gives the fish eye effect and makes everything seem alot father than it is, this is corrected by reducing viewing angles.
Great find. I really want a gopro but i am not willing to pay the price for them. Thanks for the info and the post!
Splaker, I think you're kidding, but in case not, I was referring specifically to waterfowling footage.
TR, I've heard that the angles are better with the H3 (compared to my H2), but haven't seen evidence of that on YouTube hunting videos yet. Still a lot of really tiny birds getting shot.
As for the wireless, I just let my cameras roll nonstop. On the downside, I end up with about 1+ TB of video and lots of dead air footage to edit out each season. I've had a new desktop computer purpose-built just for getting through all of the footage. On the upside, I catch everything. You never know when that teal is going to come ripping into the dekes. Or better yet, when your buddy is going to fall in the mud.
If you can afford multiple H3s, then sweet. I was getting them half price and it still got too rich for my blood.
I like this one, but it's a one trick pony. You aren't going to use it for anything other than barrel cam. If you have the money to add it to the camera array, then sure. But I can't see myself blowing that much money on a barrel cam.

All said and done, I spent a lot of money and effort getting footage in 2012. In 2013, I hardly turned the camera on and just relaxed.
No, wasn't kidding! I am not a waterfowl hunter and I don't tend to watch many vids on it… thanks for clarity
I posted in the wrong thread a few minutes ago..lol
