I have been looking at the Go Pro Wide Hero Camera for around 130.00, I really dont want to spend more then this is possible, I just dont want to spend more then 150.00 at the absolute most.  Thats about all I want to spend.  Is this a good camera or is there a better camera out there.  Here is a link to the camera Im looking at.  Im just worried about a suction cup holding a camera on at a place like Road America where the speeds are pretty quick.

I have a regular Mini DV camera that I mount but its a hand held tape one, but its just to big and gets in the way alittle, and battery shakes loose.

I have found that this camera is really good for the price. It comes with a suction cup mount and sticky mounts. I use the 3m sticky mounts personally. The quality isn't "crystal" clear but pretty damn good. It also as a setting for high/low wind noise. The other great thing is that it is in it's protective case that is waterproof.

Don't know about any other cams though...

I have a Go Pro I am wanting to sell.  PM me if interested. I could save you some bucks.  BTW- it's a kickass little camera- I am stepping up to a more devoted unit for the bike next year, and the Go Pro has served its purpose.
