Go Pro LCD

I'm sure you all know about the GoPro.  You can buy these things off the shelf at the local surf shots.

One of the Go Pro's big limitations was it didn't have an LCD screen to set a shot, it was more of a point and shoot thing.  Well, Go Pro has come up with a monitor that includes a screen and speaker for only $80 bucks!

Moreover, they've got a clever way of attaching it so there's no wires and you can easily detach the monitor to keep the camera as small and light as possible.  One caveat, it can't be used with the cheaper 960 and 170 models because they don't have the back port.
I guess you could buy just one monitor and use it to set all your shots.  I've worked with both the Sony and Panasonic lipstick cameras and the cheap one cost over two thousand.  That means you could buy 10 Go Pros... and a monitor for the same price.

I think this is going to give Sony and Pansonic a run for their, I mean, your money.
