I may not be the earliest adopter to all things new, but I have yet to come to terms with IMO the absolutely ridiculous look of having a dorky square camera (GoPro) sitting on my head. Sorry to all that do it, but jeez, look at yourself in the mirror (and I'm not referring to those wonderfully esthetic helmet mounted mirrors either... another comment thread on those). Cylindrical shaped cameras strapped to the side of a helmet to me look so much more appealing, but when in comes down to quality photos and video, the GoPro results are tops for these POV cameras.

That said (whew), functionally the GoPro has a great option for photos... use a hand remote to take snaps. No fiddling with camera needed, just point your dorky head and shoot with a click of the remote. You could even velcro the remote to your bike frame or handlebar for super easy access.

FWIW, my stoker agrees with the above 100%, so that is all that matters.
