Three pictures from work today, they were shot at full resolution, then shrunk down to 1200x900 for viewing on the forums.
First up is one of the 787 simulators where I work.
I will get to fly that in that anytime I want, I just have to ask
More than likely I would go in on a weekend.
These are the real deal, they train pilots from all over the world at our place, we have all of the Boeing aircraft models here.
It is just like flying the real thing, hydraulic operated, and you can choose the airport you want to fly in/out of.
These are the two small lakes/ponds at my work.
There are paths around them to walk on, and to view the plentiful wildlife.
In the video description I forgot to add that we also have American Bald Eagles here, and also osprey.
A shot of yours truly from one of my mobile offices.
The video was shot in full 1080P HD resolution.
1080p = 1920×1080 pixels (16:9), 30 fps, 15 Mbit/s data rate

Great pics Corey! There's a couple aspects of the firmware upgrade that I really like (i.e., upside down mode & one button mode). Please post if you have any issues with it.
The conundrum with the GoPro in 1080 is that it drops you down to 30 fps. This is usually adequate for most applications, but I've found that if you try to slow it down, the frames get really choppy. 720 seems to work pretty good for me, although you don't get the "fisheye" effect which, in my opinion, is played out anyways.
Here's a recent bike ride in 720p(1280×720 pixels (16:9), 60 fps):

Thanks, will check the video out at home, the work PC I am on at this minute does not have speakers yet.
I have only dabbled in the 720 a few times, will look at it more.
I like using the full 1080 effect.
I noticed on the new menus on the camera for the upside down feature and the video/pictures on option.
Today at work I heard over my work radio the elusive blue heron was down between the two ponds, and I found him a half hour later down there.
I climbed up on the granite stones and shot a quick video of him which I will post before 4 PM PST here.
I have been trying to get a video or pics of him for over five years, and today was the day.
He must have known I brought the GoPro with me to work again.

Okie, your video turned out great.
Were you using the chest strap or a helmet one?
I have both, and I think I like the chest one better for biking.
Here is a short video I shot of the blue heron at work today.
More description is at the Vimeo URL for the video too.

Check out this skateboard video GoPro just emailed me.
Watch it in 1080 at full screen.
These GoPros are amazing cameras for the money.

Just saw this thread, but I absolutely love my gopro, I have the LCD backpack and it makes ease of use a ton better. I currently use it for shooting videos of my asphalt late model that we race through out the south east. I'll try and upload it or post a link later on. But over all an incredible piece
