Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. Kind of like my FlipHD camera. All auto, great for shooting home video but not for stock.
Although don't count it out altogether, it could be used for controlled lighting like my FlipHD.
But, I'll stick with my big ass car mount and the 5D :-)

For CS3 you have to convert it kinda like with the 5D MKII file. I've used both NeoScene as well as Quicktime Pro. They both convert it just fine. QT into a .mov file and NeoScene into an .avi file. Yes indeed it is automatic. I hooked it to the front of my 4x4 ATV and climbed a rough hill that was in bright sun and shadows. I was actually impressed on how well it handled the change.

Here's a test video. It was late and I didn't notice the black border after I processed and uploaded it.
I mounted the GoPro on the front luggage rack of the ATV. The road was very rough and I was driving between 40-50 mph. Not too bad on such a rough road.

Looks very good. I wonder what you can do to steady the camera to get the jello out?
Something to dampen the vibration at the camera.

For me personally, the most attractive thing about the GoPro is the underwater casing. It's the cheapest HD underwater camera on the market.

I would say that considering the price of this thing, it looks pretty darn good. There are two thoughts that come to mind with this camera... it is designed for shots that you could not easily get with a regular rig... and one must ask in such case "when is good, good enough?" Scott, for 300 bucks... what did you expect. This is a camera for shooting high action sports and things of that sort from the POV, not for shooting regular stock. Every tool has its place.

Scott can use his to time lapse cheese.

But Jason, that only works if you:
1. Mount this camera on a car or truck
2. drive said vehicle into the ocean on a surfboard
3. you must do all of the above while wearing skies on your feet
4. and last, but not least, wear a helmet..
only then can you delve into the depths of a hole in Swiss cheese. (Which in turn makes the white balance a bit yellow. :)

Here is a full 1920x1080 HD clip taken using the GoPro HD Hero camera mounted to the front luggage rack of my ATV. This trail climb was very very rough and about a 40 degree climb. The camera was hard mounted to the frame so it was receiving the full vibration from the ground and engine. I think it did a pretty good job.
