It shows its 170degree.

This is the one I got: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GXKTEUI

It also has a 170 degree lens. I'm not sure of the particulars.

GoPro's software has an option to "remove" this effect, but obviously once it's there in the original you can only do so much. Apparently some of their cameras have an option to capture narrower fields.

Anyway, my experience is that you get really great images of whatever is right in front of you, but that everything distant or peripheral looks even more distant and peripheral than it actually was.
