The remote on my Drift HD170 is very useful indeed, so Thumbs Up for that, although wonder what they charge for it... As for the 120fps mode.. such a poor resolution, will it even be useful? I can't imagine YouTube people recording in SD just to show slow-mo wheelies, for example Razz

You can already get super smooth slo mo on the current Go Pro Hero HD if you use the correct movie editing software. Thumbs Up

But you could presumably get even smoother slow mo with this Wink.

The casio EX-F1 never massively took off, but there's still some interesting stuff about from it's high speed mode.

Highest mode is very low resolution, but still worthy to have, I reckon.

Doubt most youtube videos are viewed in more than wvga even when HD is available anyway.
