    Saw this in a Cyber Monday email that came today.  This is bigger than the keychain cam, but it would appear to overcome all the shortcomings.  Says you can even turn off the stupid date and time.  Also has twice the resolution (720P).  Notice the massively better mounting options on this one.  Has the controls on the back so no matter how you mount it, you can get to the controls.  I'm about sick of mounting my keychain upside down so I can get to the controls and then having to edit the video to flip everything back over.  It has IR LEDs that are worthless to us, but I'm going to replace them with super bright red LEDs that will help me keep my orientation on these foggy days.  This little guy looks really good.  Hope I feel that way when I'm holding it in my hand. :)

    Note: HobbyPartz ships free with a $50 order so add a battery or something to get free shipping.  Lots of great sales going on right now.

    PP - Right!  I got excited when I saw that to.  It opens up all kinds of mounting possibilities.  I think this has real potential.  Can't wait to get my hands on it.  Hope there are no hidden surprises.

    We expect a full review upon receiving this little gem. I was lifting a eyebrow over it too. Looks like it could be a fun little camera.

    It would be great to see you again.  It's getting too cold for my hands to fly, but those guys at the school are hard core and fly regardless of the weather seems like.
