so in the fall I got a Viosport 3 cam that records to a DV tape in a Sony Handycam, used it for a cat-hunt and one shameful ride on a 250. Its a good setup, you have to hold the handycam in a backpack, and to start it its best to have a buddy do it. It took a hell of a nice video.
At the PRI I bought a GoPro Motorsports Hero Wide camera. Tried it for the first time on friday, Its slick as hell to use. I set it to record and threw it on the dash of the truck to cruize home from the shop. Its a snowy mess here, but the camera did a dammn nice job of showing contrast between the sky and ground, unlike the handycam.
It takes a 2gb sd card and records an hour of video, theres a software upgrade coming to accept a 4gb card and do 2 hours, which is also the battery life. It has a mit-full of mounts with it and specialized ones available aswell. I like it cuz i can put it in the truck with a thumbscrew, then strait to the bike or rifle just as easy, and not tote a bag of cables. And theres no having to convert files it spits them out as avi already!
If your in the market for a cam its a dammn good one. I gave the handycam to my sis, but kept the viosport for now
