my go pro wide rapes batteries. I find the hardest thing is figuring out what the hell its doing. I tried scanning the instructions and such but it seems there is no indication on the lcd for when the batteries are too low and it "auto saves" before running out of power. Also no indicator for when the card is full.
Otherwise I've liked it. As long as I have fresh batteries and SD card it works fine. That said, the wide is VERY wide. Like, artsy video wide. Things look so far away and slow. I've seen videos from the original though, and that's way too narrow. GoPro needs to come out with something about 90 degree field of view, and perhaps some way to connect it to something to get a live view to set up shots. Although with the wide, you can almost point it anywhere and it'll be ok cause it's so wide.
For the price (got mine for $160 on flea bay) its mint.
